Effect of the Fermi motion on nuclear structure functions and the EMC effect
The effect of the Fermi motion on nuclear structure function at largeQ2 (the EMC effect) is discussed in detail. We especially study its dependences on the kinematics of interaction, the 4-momentum transferQ2, the nucleon momentum distribution inside nucleus and the nuclear mass number. Moreover the structure function of12C at very largex such asx>1 is evaluated by only the nuclear Fermi motion, and related problems are discussed. We also point out a new dynamical mechanism expected to produce the depletion of valence quark inside nucleus for intermediatex, which does not encroach upon the conventional nuclear physics, and discuss it along the line of scaling hypothesis proposed by Daté et al.

New Scaling Phenomena in Nuclear Structure Functions
We consider the nuclear mass-number (A) dependence of the nuclear structure functions. We restrict ourselves to a two-component model, in which we assume the existence of an exotic component other than the normal nucleon component in nuclei. We find that there exist scaling phenomena and that the structure function of the exotic component should be independent of A. We also show that the A dependence of the nuclear structure function can be attributed to that of the surface-to-volume ratio which is incorporated in the probability of finding the exotic component in the nucleus.

A new molecular dynamics calculation and its application to the spectra of light and strange baryons
A new approach based on antisymmetrized molecular dynamics is proposed to correctly take account of the many-body correlations. We applied it to the spectra of low-lying, light and strange baryons. The inclusion of the quark–quark correlation is important to predict the precise spectra, and the semi- relativistic kinematics is also vital to correct the level ordering. The baryon spectra calculated by the present method is as precise as the Faddeev calculation.

The quark-meson coupling model and chiral symmetry
We extend the quark‐meson coupling (QMC) model to incorporate chiral symmetry. The relationship between the QMC model and chiral perturbation theory is also discussed. The nuclear central potential is modified by the effect of internal structure of the nucleon.

A Deformable Bag Model of Hadrons. I
As a generalization of the MIT spherical bag model, we construct the spheroidal bag model of hadron with an arbitrary eccentricity. This generalization is made by slightly modifying the MIT linear boundary condition: The linear boundary condition is examined in detail. Our model always satisfies two necessary requirements of the MIT bag model --i. e., n-j=O, no quark colour flux leaves the bag, and ijq =0, the scalar density of quark should vanish on the bag surface-- and it reduces to the MIT spherical bag model in the limit of zero-eccentricity. Lagrangian formalism of our model is briefly described. The eigenfrequencies of a single massless quark confined in this spheroidal bag are numer­ ically calculated. We obtain the level-splitting of the excited quark orbits, which is just analogous to the well-known Nilsson's splitting of single particle orbits in deformed nuclei. By using the numerical results of the lowest orbit, the effect of the bag-deformation on the mass of low-lying hadrons is estimated. It is found that, although the spherical bag is stable, tbe quark bag is extremely soft against the quadrupole deformation. Brief discussions are added on the mechanisms which make the spherical bag more stable.

Composite nucleons in scalar and vector mean fields.
We emphasize that the composite structure of the nucleon may play quite an important role in nuclear physics. It is shown that the momentum-dependent repulsive force of second order in the scalar field, which plays an important role in Dirac phenomenology, can be found in the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model, and that the properties of nuclear matter are well described through the quark-scalar density in a nucleon and a self-consistency condition for the scalar field. The difference between theories of pointlike nucleons and composite ones may be seen in the change of the {omega}-meson mass in nuclear matter if the composite nature of the nucleon suppresses contributions from nucleon-antinucleon pair creation.

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.

SERIES TESTS OF HIGH-GRADIENT SINGLE-CELL SUPERCONDUCTING CAVITY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF KEK RECIPE
We have performed a series of vertical tests of single cell Nb superconducting cavities at 2 degrees Kelvin. These tests aimed at establishing the feasibility of reaching an accelerating gradient of 45 MV/m on a routine basis. The cavity profiles were all of the KEK low loss design and were fabricated from deep-drawn Nb half cups using electron beam welding. The cavity surface preparation followed an established KEK procedure of centrifugal barrel polishing, light chemical polishing, high temperature annealing, electro-polishing, and finally a high pressure water rinse. Of the six cavities tested, three exceeded 44 MV/m on the first test and the rest of three also exceeded 44 MV/m after additional electro-polishing. This clearly establishes the feasibility of this gradient.

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.

Design of a Low Loss SRF Cavity for the ILC
An international team comprising SLAC, KEK, FNAL, JLAB and DESY is collaborating on the design, fabrication and test of a low loss, 1.3 GHz 9-cell SRF structure as a potential improvement for the ILC main linac. The advantages of this structure over the TESLA structure include lower cryogenic loss, shorter rise time, and less stored energy. Among the issues to be addressed in this design are HOM damping, Lorentz force detuning and multipacting. We will report on HOM damping calculations using the parallel finite element eigenmode solver Omega3P and the progress made towards an optimized design. Studies on multipacting and estimates of the Lorentz force detuning will also be presented.
