Online monitoring system and data management for KamLAND
In January 22, 2002, KamLAND started the data-taking. The KamLAND detector is
a complicated system which consists of liquid scintillator, buffer oil,
spherical balloon and so on. In order to maintain the detector safety, we
constructed monitoring system which collect detector status information such as
balloon weight, liquid scintillator oil level and so on. In addition, we
constructed continuous Rn monitoring system for the Be solar neutrino
detection. The KamLAND monitoring system consists of various network, LON,
1-Wire, and TCP/IP, and these are indispensable for continuous experimental
data acquisition.Comment: Submitted to Nucl.Instrum.Meth.
On the Genus Expansion in the Topological String Theory
A systematic formulation of the higher genus expansion in topological string
theory is considered. We also develop a simple way of evaluating genus zero
correlation functions. At higher genera we derive some interesting formulas for
the free energy in the and models. We present some evidence that
topological minimal models associated with Lie algebras other than the A-D-E
type do not have a consistent higher genus expansion beyond genus one. We also
present some new results on the model at higher genera.Comment: 36 pages, phyzzx, UTHEP-27
Topological Field Theories and the Period Integrals
We discuss topological Landau-Ginzburg theories coupled to the 2-dimensional
topological gravity. We point out that the basic recursion relations for
correlation functions of the 2-dimesional gravity have exactly the same form as
the Gauss-Manin differential equations for the period integrals of
superpotentials. Thus the one-point functions on the sphere of the
Landau-Ginzburg theories are given exactly by the period integrals. We discuss
various examples, A-D-E minimal models and the topological theories.Comment: 12 pages, phyzzx, UT 64

Thermodynamics of Superstring on Near-extremal NS5 and Effective Hagedorn Behavior
We study the thermodynamical torus partition function of superstring on the
near-extremal black NS5-brane background. The exact partition function has been
computed with the helps of our previous works:[arXiv:1012.5721 [hep-th]],
[arXiv:1109.3365 [hep-th]], and naturally decomposed into two parts. The first
part is contributed from strings freely propagating in the asymptotic region,
which are identified as the superstring gas at the Hawking temperature on the
linear-dilaton background. The second part includes the contribution localized
around the `tip of cigar', which characterizes the non-extremality. Remarkably,
the latter part includes massless excitations with non-vanishing thermal
winding, which signifies that the Hagedorn-like behavior effectively appears,
even though the Hawking temperature is much lower than the Hagedorn
temperature. We also explore the high-temperature backgrounds defined by the
orbifolding along the Euclidean time direction. In those cases, the thermal
winding modes localized around the tip are found to be tachyonic, reflecting
the singularities of Euclidean backgrounds caused by orbifolding.Comment: 1+29 pages, no figure; v2 the footnote 1 is enhanced, to appear in

Precise determination of two-carrier transport properties in the topological insulator TlBiSe
We report the electric transport study of the three-dimensional topological
insulator TlBiSe. We applied a newly developed analysis procedure and
precisely determined two-carrier transport properties. Magnetotransport
properties revealed a multicarrier conduction of high- and low-mobility
electrons in the bulk, which was in qualitative agreement with angle-resolved
photoemission results~[K. Kuroda , Phys. Rev. Lett. , 146801
(2010)]. The temperature dependence of the Hall mobility was explained well
with the conventional Bloch-Gr{\"u}neisen formula and yielded the Debye
temperature ~K. The results indicate that the
scattering of bulk electrons is dominated by acoustic phonons.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures, to be published in Physical Review
Superconformal Algebras and Mock Theta Functions
It is known that characters of BPS representations of extended superconformal
algebras do not have good modular properties due to extra singular vectors
coming from the BPS condition. In order to improve their modular properties we
apply the method of Zwegers which has recently been developed to analyze
modular properties of mock theta functions. We consider the case of N=4
superconformal algebra at general levels and obtain the decomposition of
characters of BPS representations into a sum of simple Jacobi forms and an
infinite series of non-BPS representations.
We apply our method to study elliptic genera of hyper-Kahler manifolds in
higher dimensions. In particular we determine the elliptic genera in the case
of complex 4 dimensions of the Hilbert scheme of points on K3 surfaces K^{[2]}
and complex tori A^{[[3]]}.Comment: 28 page
On the contribution of twist-3 multi-gluon correlation functions to single transverse-spin asymmetry in SIDIS
We study the single spin asymmetry (SSA) induced by purely gluonic
correlation inside a nucleon, in particular, by the three-gluon correlation
functions in the transversely polarized nucleon, . This
contribution is embodied as a twist-3 mechanism in the collinear factorization
framework and controls the SSA to be observed in the -meson production with
large transverse-momentum in semi-inclusive DIS (SIDIS), . We define the relevant three-gluon correlation functions in
the nucleon, and determine their complete set at the twsit-3 level taking into
account symmetry constraints in QCD. We derive the single-spin-dependent cross
section for the -meson production in SIDIS, taking into account all the
relevant contributions at the twist-3 level. The result is obtained in a
manifestly gauge-invariant form as the factorization formula in terms of the
three-gluon correlation functions and reveals the five independent structures
with respect to the dependence on the azimuthal angle for the produced
meson. We also demonstrate the remarkable relation between the twist-3
single-spin-dependent cross section and twist-2 cross sections for the
-meson production, as a manifestation of universal structure behind the SSA
in a variety of hard processes.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figures. To appear in the proceedings of the 19th
