title: Doubly charmed baryon masses and quark wave functions in baryons
abstract: We compute the masses of the ground state baryons and their spin excited states discussing quark wave functions in baryons. Doubly charmed baryon masses are given in the expected accuracy of \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}10 MeV.

title: Effective System for Simulating Dust Continuum Observations on Distributed Computing Resources
abstract: We present an effective system for simulating dust continuum observations by radiative transfer simulations. By using workflow management system RENKEI-WFT, we utilized distributed computing resources and automated a sequence of computational tasks required for radiative transfer modeling, namely, main radiative transfer simulations, pre-/post-processes, and data transfer between computing resources. Our system simultaneously executes a lot of radiative transfer simulations with different input parameters on distributed computing resources. This capability of our system enables us to conduct effective research by radiative transfer simulation. As a demonstration of our system, we simulated dust continuum observations of protoplanetary disk. We performed hydrodynamic simulation modeling photoevaporating protoplanetary disk irradiated by ultra violet radiation from nearby massive stars. Results of this hydrodynamic simulation were used as input data for radiative transfer simulations. Expected spectral energy distributions and intensity maps were obtained by our system.

title: Light composite scalar in eight-flavor QCD on the lattice
abstract: In search for a composite Higgs boson (techni-dilaton) in the walking technicolor, we present our preliminary results on the first observation of a light flavor-singlet scalar in a candidate theory for the walking technicolor, the Nf=8 QCD, which was found in our previous paper to have spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking together with remnants of the conformality. Based on simulations with the HISQ-type action on several lattice sizes with various fermion masses, we find evidence of a flavor-singlet scalar meson with mass comparable to that of the Nambu-Goldstone pion in both the small fermion-mass region, where chiral perturbation theory works, and the intermediate fermion-mass region where the hyperscaling relation holds. We further discuss its chiral limit extrapolation in comparison with other states studied in our previous paper: the scalar has a mass much smaller than that of the vector meson, which is compared to the Nambu-Goldstone pion having a vanishing mass in that limit.

title: Phase diagram at finite temperature and quark density in the strong coupling region of lattice QCD for colour SU(3)
abstract: We study the phase diagram of quark matter at finite temperature (T) and chemical potential (μ) in the strong coupling region of lattice QCD for colour SU(3). Baryon has effects to extend the hadron phase to a larger μ direction relative to T c at low temperatures in the strong coupling limit. With the l/g 2 corrections, T c is found to decrease rapidly as g decreases, and the shape of the phase diagram becomes closer to that expected in the real world.

title: Strong Coupling Limit/Region of Lattice QCD
abstract: We study the phase diagram of quark matter and nuclear properties based on the strong coupling expansion of lattice QCD. Both of baryon and finite coupling correction are found to have effects to extend the hadron phase to a larger μ direction relative to Tc. In a chiral RMF model with logarithmic sigma potential derived in the strong coupling limit of lattice QCD, we can avoid the chiral collapse and normal and hypernuclei properties are well described.

title: BROWN-RHO SCALING IN THE STRONG COUPLING LATTICE QCD
abstract: We examine the Brown-Rho scaling for meson masses in the strong coupling limit of lattice QCD with one species of staggered fermion. Analytical expression of meson masses is derived at finite temperature and chemical potential. We find that meson masses are approximately proportional to the equilibrium value of the chiral condensate, which evolves as a function of temperature and chemical potential.
