In--Flight () Reactions for the Formation of Kaonic Atoms and Kaonic Nuclei in Green function method
We study theoretically the kaonic atom and kaonic nucleus formations in the
in--flight () reactions using the Green function method, which is suited
to evaluate formation rates both of stable and unstable bound systems. We
consider C and O as the targets and calculate the spectra of the
() reactions. We conclude that a no peak structure due to kaonic nucleus
formation is expected in the reaction spectra calculated with the chiral
unitary kaon--nucleus optical potential. In the spectra with the
phenomenological deep kaon--nucleus potential, we may have possibilities to
observe some structures due to kaonic nucleus states. For all cases, we have
peaks due to the kaonic atom formations in the reaction spectra.Comment: 10 pages, 9 figures, newly calculated results added, revisions and

Formation of \eta'(958)-mesic nuclei and axial U_A(1) anomaly at finite density
We discuss the possibility to produce the bound states of the
meson in nuclei theoretically. We calculate the formation cross sections of the
bound states with the Green function method for (,p) reaction
and discuss the experimental feasibility at photon facilities like SPring-8. We
conclude that we can expect to observe resonance peaks in (,p) spectra
for the formation of bound states and we can deduce new information on
properties at finite density. These observations are believed to be
essential to know the possible mass shift of and deduce new information
of the effective restoration of the chiral anomaly in the nuclear
medium.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Formation of Deeply Bound Kaonic Atoms in (K^-,N) Reactions
We study theoretically the (K^-,N) reactions for the formation of the deeply
bound kaonic atoms, which were predicted to be quasi--stable with narrow
widths, using the Green function method. We consider various cases with
different target nuclei and energies systematically and find the clear signals
in the theoretical spectra for all cases considered in this article. The
signals show very interesting structures, such as the instead
of the resonance peak. We discuss the origins of the interesting structures and
possibilities to get new information on the existence of the kaonic nuclei from
the spectra of the atomic state formations.Comment: 11 pages, 9 figure
Formation of -mesic Nuclei Using the Recoilless (d,He) Reaction
We propose to use the recoilless (d,He) reaction to produce -mesic
nuclei. This reaction has been used to observe deeply bound pionic states and
proven to be powerful recently. We calculate -mesic bound states in the
nucleus using an optical potential and their formation cross section with the
Green function method. Then, we carefully check the experimental feasibility.
We find that -mesic nuclei can be observed experimentally using the
(d,He) reaction. We also mention the possibility to study the formation of
-mesic nuclei.Comment: 15 pages, 6 eps figures, Late
Plans for Hadronic Structure Studies at J-PARC
Hadron-physics projects at J-PARC are explained. The J-PARC is the
most-intense hadron-beam facility in the multi-GeV high-energy region. By using
secondary beams of kaons, pions, and others as well as the primary-beam proton,
various hadron projects are planned. First, some of approved experiments are
introduced on strangeness hadron physics and hadron-mass modifications in
nuclear medium. Second, future possibilities are discussed on hadron-structure
physics, including structure functions of hadrons, spin physics, and
high-energy hadron reactions in nuclear medium. The second part is discussed in
more details because this is an article in the hadron-structure session.Comment: 10 pages, LaTeX, 20 eps files, to be published in Journal of Physics:

Systematic study of the decay rates of antiprotonic helium states
A systematic study of the decay rates of antiprotonic helium (\pbhef and
\pbhet) at CERN AD (Antiproton Decelerator) has been made by a laser
spectroscopic method. The decay rates of some of its short-lived states, namely
those for which the Auger rates are much larger than
their radiative decay rates ( s),
were determined from the time distributions of the antiproton annihilation
signals induced by laser beams, and the widths of the atomic resonance lines.
The magnitude of the decay rates, especially their relation with the transition
multipolarity, is discussed and compared with theoretical calculations.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures, and 1 tabl
Study of possible \omega bound states in nuclei with the (\gamma,p) reaction
We perform calculations for \omega production in nuclei by means of the
(\gamma,p) reaction for photon energies and proton angles suited to running and
future experiments in present Laboratories. For some cases of possible \omega
optical potentials we find clear peaks which could be observable provided a
good resolution in the \omega energy is available. We also study the inclusive
production of \pi^0 \gamma in nuclei around the \omega energy and find a double
hump structure for the energy spectra, with a peak around a \pi^0 \gamma energy
of m_{\omega}-100 MeV, which could easily be misidentified by a signal of a
bound \omega state in nuclei, while it is due to a different scaling of the
uncorrelated \pi^0 \gamma production and \omega production with subsequent
\pi^0 \gamma decay.Comment: 19 pages, 10 figure
A fundamental test of the Higgs Yukawa coupling at RHIC in A+A collisions
Searches for the intermediate boson, , the heavy quantum of the Weak
Interaction, via its semi-leptonic decay, , in the 1970's instead
discovered unexpectedly large hadron production at high , notably ,
which provided a huge background of from internal and external
conversions. Methods developed at the CERN ISR which led to the discovery of
direct-single- in 1974, later determined to be from the semi-leptonic
decay of charm which had not yet been discovered, were used by PHENIX at RHIC
to make precision measurements of heavy quark production in p-p and Au+Au
collisions, leading to the puzzle of apparent equal suppression of light and
heavy quarks in the QGP. If the Higgs mechanism gives mass to gauge bosons but
not to fermions, then a proposal that all 6 quarks are nearly massless in a
QGP, which would resolve the puzzle, can not be excluded. This proposal can be
tested with future measurements of heavy quark correlations in A+A collisionsComment: 12 pages, 16 figures, 26th Winter Workshop on Nuclear Dynamics, Ocho

Selected topics on Hadrons in Nuclei
In this talk we report on selected topics on hadrons in nuclei. The first
topic is the renormalization of the width of the in a nuclear
medium. This is followed by a short update of the situation of the in
the medium. The investigation of the properties of in the nuclear
medium from the study of the reaction is also addressed, as
well as properties of X,Y,Z charmed and hidden charm resonances in a nuclear
medium. Finally we address the novel issue of multimeson states.Comment: Talk at the International Nuclear Physics Conference, Vancouver, July
