A New Material Evaluation Method on Niobium by Magnetization Measurement
As a new evaluation method for the material defects or surface contamination of niobium, we have tried magnetization measurement using very small niobium samples. We could see the hyst~resis curve varied depending on the sample's history. This method has a high sensitivity. Th~ m.f1uence ?y surface treatments was observed on the hysteresis curve; annealing, chemical p~hshmg, Q-dlsease due to hydrogen etc .. In this paper we will report several study results by this method.

Activities on Superconducting Cavities at TOSHIBA
Abstructs R&D activities on superconducting cavities at TOSHIBA are presented. Two L-band single-cell niobium cavities and an L-band three-cell structure were fabricated in our company and measured at KEK. The maximum field gradient of Eacc,max>30MV/m in both single-cell cavities and Eacc,max =18MV/m in the three-cell structure were attained respectively. An optimization study on the annealing temperature for the hydrogen Q-disease is reported. R&D of hydroforming to fabricate seamless cavities is also presented.

High Field Studies on L-band Superconducting Cavities at KEK
Several 1.3 GHz single-cell and nine-cell niobium cavities were fabricated to attain a higher maximum accelerating gradient and to understand the phenomena limiting it. Vertical cold tests at {approx}1.8 K for the 4 single-cell cavities prepared by various surface treatments have been conducted 15 times. In eight of the tests, maximum accelerating gradients (E{sub acc}, max) of more than 14 MV/m were obtained with no field emission. Furthermore, E{sub acc}, max values of higher than 20 MV/m with a high Q{sub 0} value of {approx}10{sup 10} were achieved repeatedly after heat treatment at 1400 degrees C. Once quenching was observed at E{sub acc}, max (14 {approx} 20 MV/m), however, a common phenomenon resulting in Q{sub 0}-deterioration occurred in every test. The cavity performances and the phenomenon at high fields are reported in this paper.

HIGHER HARMONICS BEAM LOADING COMPENSATION FOR A BROAD BAND MA-LOADED RF CAVITY
A broad band RF cavity loaded with magnetic alloy cores has been developed for the Japanese Hadron Facility synchrotrons. Its Q-value can be chosen at between 0.5 and 5. To reduce transient beam loading effects, a small Qvalue (< 3) is preferable to shorten the transient period. However, the circulating beam current of up to 7 A will induce a spurious voltage at the accelerating gap, which deforms the gap voltage due to higher harmonics components, if the Q-value is less than 3. The resulting RFbucket distortion may cause the beam loss. Therefore we have designed a beam loading compensation system to suppress the higher harmonics components.

THE CHARACTERISTICS OF DIFFERENT MAGNETIC MATERIAL FOR RF CAVITY UNDER PERPENDICULAR MAGNETIZATION
In recent years, a technology of perpendicular magnetization for ferrite loaded cavities is developed. Yttrium Garnet ferrite is generally used for that case with higher frequency range from 30-60 MHz. An attempt is taken to measure the characteristics of different new materials such as FINEMET,METGLAS and NiZn ferrite under the condition of perpendicular magnetization. The results are summarized in this paper.

Scalar and vector form factors of the in-medium nucleon
Abstract Using the quark–meson coupling model, we calculate the form factors at σ- and ω-nucleon strong-interaction vertices in nuclear matter. The Peierls–Yoccoz projection technique is used to take account of center of mass and recoil corrections. We also apply the Lorentz contraction to the internal quark wave function. The form factors are reduced by the nuclear medium relative to those in vacuum. At normal nuclear matter density and Q 2 =1 GeV 2 , the reduction rate in the scalar form factor is about 15%, which is almost identical to that in the vector one. We parameterize the ratios of the form factors in symmetric nuclear matter to those in vacuum as a function of nuclear density and momentum transfer.

EVALUATION OF MAGNETIC ALLOYS FOR JHF RF CAVITY
A new type of rf accelerating cavity using a high permeability magnetic alloy (MA) has been developed for the high intensity JHF proton synchrotrons. Compared with ordinary ferrites, the MA cores are very stable at high rf magnetic field and thus very high accelerating gradient (=accelerating voltage per cavity length) is available. We have measured several magnetic alloys in order to find a proper material for the cavity. In this paper, the test results are summarized and the evaluation of these materials is presented.

A New type of RF cavity for high intensity proton synchrotron using high permeability magnetic alloy
A new type of rf accelerating cavity using a high-permeability magnetic alloy (MA) core is proposed for a highintensity hadron synchrotron. The prototype of a single-gap high gradient cavity whose total length is only 40cm is under development and a maximum rf voltage of 20kV has been obtained so far.

Neutron Star Properties in the Chiral Quark–Meson Coupling Model
We study the properties of neutron stars using the chiral quark–meson coupling model, in which the quark–quark hyperfine interaction due to the exchanges of gluon and pion based on chiral symmetry is considered. We also examine the effects of hyperons and Δ-isobars in a neutron star. Extending the SU(6) spin-flavor symmetry to more general SU(3) flavor symmetry in the vector–meson couplings to baryons, the maximum mass of neutron star can reach the recently observed massive pulsar mass, $${1.97 \pm 0.04 M_{\odot}}$$. In this calculation, Λ and Ξ are generated in a neutron star, while Σ and Δ-isobars do not appear.
