Phases of many flavors QCD : Lattice results
This note is based on our recent results on QCD with varying number of flavors of fundamental fermions. Topics include unusual, strong dynamics in the preconformal, confining phase, the physics of the conformal window and the role of ab-initio lattice simulations in establishing our current knowledge of the phases of many flavor QCD.

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.

title: Composite flavor-singlet scalar in twelve-flavor QCD
abstract: We report the calculation of the flavor-singlet scalar in the SU(3) gauge theory with the degenerate twelve fermions in the fundamental representation using a HISQ-type action at a fixed $\beta$. In order to reduce the large statistical error coming from the vacuum-subtracted disconnected correlator, we employ a noise reduction method and a large number of configurations. We observe that the flavor-singlet scalar is lighter than the pion in this theory from the calculations with the fermion bilinear and gluonic operators. This peculiar feature is considered to be due to the infrared conformality of this theory, and it is a promissing signal for a walking technicolor, where a light composite Higgs boson is expected to emerge by approximate conformal dynamics.

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: QCD critical point in the strong coupling lattice QCD and during black hole formation
abstract: We discuss the QCD phase diagram from two different point of view. We first investigate the phase diagram structure in the strong coupling lattice QCD with Polyakov loop effects, and show that the the chiral and Z_{N_c} deconfinement transition boundaries deviate at finite mu as suggested from large N_c arguments. Next we discuss the possibility to probe the QCD critical point during prompt black hole formation processes. The thermodynamical evolution during the black hole formation would result in quark matter formation, and the critical point in isospin asymmetric matter may be swept. (T,mu_B) region probed in heavy-ion collisions and the black hole formation processes covers most of the critical point locations predicted in recent lattice Monte-Carlo simulations and chiral effective models.

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: 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: The Lowest (1/2+ and 0-) Hadron Masses and the Behavior of the Constituent Quarks
abstract: Masses of the lowest lying hadrons and the behavior of constituent quarks are discussed on the analysis of their electromagnetic properties, based on QCD. We find that light quarks (u and d) in the hadrons move with the velocity ::::O.Sc; s quark, with :$0.7c; c quark, with nearly 0.3c. Then we know that the confinement force, no matter what kind of confinement one prefers, does not mainly contribute to the hadron masses. It is also conjectured that Jv,-eJilu-d J;=;[v1,-,11[/Jc-sJ;=;Jv,-rJ/ lt-bl and m,:-::23 GeV on the assumption of the ex­ istence of the next layer. Masses of quarks, of which a hadron is built, are assumed arbitrarily to be from zero to infinity on the argument of various hadronic processes, but the constituent quark masses seem to be mu:-::330 and ms:-::510 (in units of MeV) in the inter­ mediate region at which the magnetic moments and the spectroscopy of hadrons are discussed.ll Can 7r have a mass of an order of one hundred MeV, when it is considered that it is a bound state of such quarks? How do the quarks behave in 7r or other hadrons? This note will con­ tribute to the analysis of the lowest lying hadron masses on the basis of the analysis of the electromagnetic properties by follow­ ing the previous discussions. 2>

title: Joint LIGO and TAMA300 search for gravitational waves from inspiralling neutron star binaries
abstract: We search for coincident gravitational wave signals from inspiralling neutron star binaries using LIGO and TAMA300 data taken during early 2003. Using a simple trigger exchange method, we perform an intercollaboration coincidence search during times when TAMA300 and only one of the LIGO sites were operational. We find no evidence of any gravitational wave signals. We place an observational upper limit on the rate of binary neutron star coalescence with component masses between 1 and 3M⊙ of 49 per year per Milky Way equivalent galaxy at a 90% confidence level. The methods developed during this search will find application in future network inspiral analyses.
