APPLICATION OF MO SEALING FOR SRF CAVITIES
H. Matsumoto in KEK and his collaborator M. Ohotsuka have developed MO sealing for normal conducting high peak power RF wave-guide. This is impedance free sealing. We have applied this sealing to SRF cavity instead of indium sealing. We used pure aluminium gasket as the sealing material. We had a difficulty on the titanium flange but finally succeeded to demonstrate its leak tightness in super-fluid Helium. In this paper, we will report the R&D results.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Clear anti-correlation between luminosity and high energy cutoff in the low/hard state of the black hole candidate GX339-4
We have analyzed the 171 RXTE data sets of the black hole candidate GX 339-4 in the low/hard state during its 1996--2005 outburst. All the broadband spectra were successfully modeled by a simple analytic model, power-law with an exponential cutoff. The obtained energy cutoff($E_{\rm{cut}}$) is distributed over 50--300 keV, and the photon index over 1.4-1.6. We found a clear correlation ($E_{\rm{cut}}$ is proportional to $L^{-0.75 \pm 0.04}$) between luminosity in 2-200 keV (L) and $E_{\rm{cut}}$ when L is larger than 5$\times 10^{37}$ erg $s^{-1}$, while $E_{\rm{cut}}$ is almost constant at 200 keV when L is smaller than 5$\times 10^{37}$ erg $s^{-1}$. This anti-correlation is unchanged by adopting the more physical model of thermal Comptonization by Sunyaev and Titarchuk, although a slightly different relation is obtained as the electron temperature is proportional to $L^{-0.23 \pm 0.02}$. These anti-correlations are qualitatively explained by a picture where the energy flow rate from protons to electrons balance with cooling due to inverse Compton scattering.

EoS for massive neutron stars
Using relativistic Hartree-Fock approximation, we investigate the properties of the neutron-star matter in detail. In the present calculation, we consider not only the tensor coupling of vector mesons to octet baryons and the form factors at interaction vertexes but also the internal (quark) structure change of baryons in dense matter. The relativistic Hartree-Fock calculations are performed in two ways: one is the calculation with the coupling constants determined by SU(6) (quark model) symmetry, the other is with the coupling constants based on SU(3) (flavor) symmetry. For the latter case, we use the latest Nijmegen (ESC08) model. Then, it is very remarkable that the particle composition of the core matter in SU(3) symmetry is completely different from that in SU(6) symmetry. In SU(6) symmetry, all octet baryons appear in the density region below $\sim 1.2$ fm$^{-3}$, while, in the ESC08 model, only the \Xi^- hyperon is produced. Furthermore, the medium modification of the internal baryon structure hardens the equation of state for the core matter. Taking all these effects into account, we can obtain the maximum neutron-star mass which is consistent with the recently observed mass, 1.97 \pm 0.04 M_\sun (PSR J1614-2230). We therefore conclude that the extension from SU(6) symmetry to SU(3) symmetry in the meson-baryon couplings and the internal baryon-structure variation in matter certainly enhance the mass of neutron star. Furthermore, the effects of the form factor at vertex and the Fock contribution including the tensor coupling due to the vector mesons are indispensable to describe the core matter. In particular, the Fock term is very vital in reproducing the preferable value of symmetry energy, a_4 (\simeq 30 - 40 MeV), in nuclear matter.

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.
