The merits of searching for \eta -mesic nuclei by use of the (\pi, N) reaction at J-PARC is discussed, by comparison with an old experiment with the same reaction at BNL in 1980's. The importance of a pilot experiment using deuterium target…
After a historical review, I present the progress in the field of realistic NN potentials that we have seen in recent years. A new generation of very quantitative (high-quality/high-precision) NN potentials has emerged. These potentials…
We present predictions for the cross sections of the coherent and incoherent $J/\psi$ photoproduction in ultra-peripheral collisions at RHIC and at the LHC calculated for different classes of events depending on the presence of neutrons…
The sources of the astrophysical neutrino flux discovered by IceCube are for the most part unresolved. Extragalactic core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) have been suggested as candidate multi-messenger sources. In interaction-powered…
The JSNS$^2$ experiment aims to search for the existence of neutrino oscillations with $\Delta {\rm m}^2$ near 1 eV$^2$ at the J-PARC Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF). A 3~GeV 1~MW proton beam incident on a mercury…
Several topics in the Kphysics together with the new facility J-Parc are introduced.
We study a type of particle acceleration that operates via neutron-proton conversion in inelastic nuclear collisions. This mechanism can be expected for relativistic shocks at subphotospheres if relativistic outflows contain neutrons. Using…
The recent measurement of two solar mass pulsars has initiated an intense discussion on its impact on our understanding of the high-density matter in the cores of neutron stars. A task force meeting was held from October 7-10, 2013 at the…
The design of a neutron source capable of producing 24 and 70 keV neutron beams with narrow energy spread is presented. The source exploits near-threshold kinematics of the $^{7}$Li(p,n)$^{7}$Be reaction while taking advantage of the…
Upcoming neutrino telescopes may discover ultra-high-energy (UHE) cosmic neutrinos, with energies beyond 100 PeV, in the next 10-20 years. Finding their sources would identify guaranteed sites of interaction of UHE cosmic rays, whose origin…
A new mechanism is suggested for efficient proton acceleration in the GeV energy range; applications to non-conventional high intensity proton drivers and, hence, to low-energy (10-200 MeV) neutrino sources are discussed. In particular we…
The R&D efforts towards a neutrino factory are outlined with special emphasis on the muon cooling issue and the data collected for target optimization.
This paper investigates the capability of long-baseline experiments, which are making use of neutrinos that are coming from Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC), in establishing the unitarity of active-neutrino mixing by…
Canada's access to neutron beams for neutron scattering was significantly curtailed in 2018 with the closure of the National Research Universal (NRU) reactor in Chalk River, Ontario, Canada. New sources are needed for the long-term;…
The protons and neutrons in a nucleus can form strongly correlated nucleon pairs. Scattering experiments, where a proton is knocked-out of the nucleus with high momentum transfer and high missing momentum, show that in 12C the…
In this paper we give a brief systematic study of different models of astrophysical point sources of ultra high energy (\ge 1 TeV) neutrinos.
J-PARC neutrino beamline has been operated since 2009. Until May 2018, the maximum beam power achieved was ~500 kW. In future, the beam power will be upgraded to 1.3 MW. After the stable operation in late 2020s, we can accumulate ~30 x…
We describe the status of our effort to realize a first neutrino factory and the progress made in understanding the problems associated with the collection and cooling of muons towards that end. We summarize the physics that can be done…
The IceCube experiment recently detected the first flux of high-energy neutrinos in excess of atmospheric backgrounds. We examine whether these neutrinos originate from within the same extragalactic sources as ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays.…
The committee for the study of the extension of the Hadron Experimental Facility was formed under the Hadron Hall Users' Association in August, 2015. This document is a summary of the discussions among the committee members, and documented…
