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.

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.

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.

Masses of the Multiquark States in the MIT Bag Model with the Pion-Cloud
We study the masses of the low-lying multiquark states, especially the dibaryon states, within the framework of the MIT bag model with the pion-cloud, in which the non-local pion-quark· interaction is taken into account. We find that the pionic effect does not greatly alter the original predictions of the MIT bag model for the dibaryon states with Y = 1 and 2, while it increases the mass of the lowest Y = 0 dibaryon state. The Y = 0 dihyperon predicted by Jaffe may be either unbound or very weakly bound. In this letter we wish to study the low-lying multiquark states in the MIT bag model with the pion-cloud. In the original MIT bag model some authors calculated the masses of the multiquark states and discussed their properties. 1l • 2 ) Recent1y' however, it ~as pointed out that the contribu­ tion of the pion-cloud to the masses of the ordi­ nary hadrons amounts to about 100 MeV and especially the pion-cloud plays an important role in the origin of the N-LJ and the .E-A mass differences. 3 )A) We should, therefore, estimate the effect of the pion-cloud on the masses of the multiquark states. Of special interest is the deep­ ly bound state of the dihyperon UI"=OO+) predicted by Jaffe. 2 ) (This state is 70~80 MeV lower than the A-A threshold in the MIT bag model.) Here we will use the chiral and the cloudy bag models with the non-local interaction between the quark and pion,a) in which the extent of the pion is taken into account. The pionic corrections will be treated as a perturbation to the masses of the multiquark states. In the naive chiral S ) and cloudy 6) bag models there are two difficulties, i.e., the collapse of the bag and the divergence of the quark self-energy, which are due to the pion­ cloud. In the first order of the pionic correction we can, however, avoid these difficult problems by using the non-local description of the quark-pion interaction. In the limit of a static and spherical cavity with the radius R the usual mass formula for the N­ quark state is given by

A microscopic understanding of the structure functions of finite nuclei
Abstract A number of relatively successful quark model descriptions of nuclear matter have recently been developed, based on a mean-field description of non-overlapping nucleon bags bound by the self-consistent exchange of scalar (σ) and vector (ω) mesons. The meson fields modify the internal quark motion in the nucleon bag in medium and this induces a saturation mechanism for nuclear matter. The model gives a nuclear compressibility around 220 MeV and provides a rather satisfactory interpretation of nuclear matter properties. Furthermore, it has recently been shown that the twist-2 valence quark distributions of the free nucleon calculated in the MIT bag model are in reasonable agreement with world data. By using a local density approximation we combine these developments to microscopically investigate the structure functions of finite nuclei. The effect of nuclear shadowing and antishadowing is taken into account phenomenologically. The model can quantitatively reproduce the existing experimental data - the so-called European Muon Collaboration (EMC) effect. We show that the quark degrees of freedom in nuclei and the final state interaction between the debris of the struck nucleon and the residual nucleus both play important roles in the nuclear structure functions. Thus the conventional treatment based on nucleon binding within the impulse approximation is quantitatively unreliable. We also study the effects of the self-coupling terms of the σ field and nucleon-nucleon correlations on some nuclear matter properties and the nuclear structure functions.

Meson mixing amplitudes in asymmetric nuclear matter
Abstract Using a purely hadronic model, we study the charge-symmetry-breaking ρ – ω , σ – δ , σ – ρ and δ – ω mixing amplitudes in isospin asymmetric nuclear matter. The basic assumption of the model is that the mixing amplitude is generated by nucleon and antinucleon loops and hence driven entirely by the difference between proton and neutron Fermi momenta and the proton–neutron mass difference. We find that the behavior of the mixing amplitude is very complicated in the spacelike region and quite sensitive to the proton fraction of nuclear medium and nuclear density. In particular, in neutron rich nuclei (like Pb) and/or neutron stars the mixing amplitudes become about 10∼100 times as large as those in typical mirror nuclei.

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.

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.
