The axial U(1) anomaly in high-temperature QCD plays an important role to understand the phase diagram of QCD. The previous works by JLQCD Collaboration studied high-temperature QCD using 2-flavor dynamical chiral fermions such as the domain-wall fermion and reweighted overlap fermion. We extend our simulations to QCD with 2+1-flavor dynamical quarks, where the masses of the up, down, and strange quarks are near the physical point, and the temperatures are close to or higher than the pseudocritical temperature. In this talk, we will present the results for the Dirac spectrum, topological susceptibility, axial U(1) susceptibility, and hadronic collelators.

In the early days of QCD, the axial 
anomaly was considered as a trigger for the breaking of the 
symmetry through topological excitations of gluon fields. However, it has been a challenge for lattice QCD to quantify the effect. In this work, we simulate QCD at high temperatures with chiral fermions. The exact chiral symmetry enables us to separate the contribution from the axial breaking from others among the susceptibilities in the scalar and pseudoscalar channels. Our result in two-flavor QCD indicates that the chiral susceptibility, which is conventionally used as a probe for breaking, is actually dominated by the axial breaking at temperatures 
MeV.

Times Cited Count：8 Percentile：81.66(Physics, Multidisciplinary)The chiral susceptibility, or the first derivative of the chiral condensate with respect to the quark mass, is often used as a probe for the QCD phase transition since the chiral condensate is an order parameter of 
symmetry breaking. However, the chiral condensate also breaks the axial symmetry, which is usually not studied as it is already broken by the anomaly and apparently has little impact on the transition. We investigate the susceptibilities in the scalar and pseudoscalar channels in order to quantify how much the axial breaking contributes to the chiral phase transition. Employing a chirally symmetric lattice Dirac operator and its eigenmode decomposition, we separate the axial breaking effects from others. Our result in two-flavor QCD indicates that both of the connected and disconnected chiral susceptibilities are dominated by axial breaking at temperatures 
MeV after the quadratically divergent constant is subtracted.

Times Cited Count：12 Percentile：72(Astronomy & Astrophysics)We investigate the axial anomaly of two-flavor QCD at temperatures 190-330 MeV. In order to preserve precise chiral symmetry on the lattice, we employ the M
bius domain-wall fermion action as well as overlap fermion action implemented with a stochastic reweighting technique. Compared to our previous studies, we reduce the lattice spacing to 0.07 fm, simulate larger multiple volumes to estimate finite size effect, and take more than four quark mass points, including one below physical point to investigate the chiral limit. We measure the topological susceptibility, axial susceptibility, and examine the degeneracy of partners in meson/baryon correlators. All the data above the critical temperature indicate that the axial violation is consistent with zero within statistical errors. The quark mass dependence suggests disappearance of the anomaly at a rate comparable to that of the symmetry breaking.

We investigate the high-temperature phase of QCD using lattice QCD simulations with dynamical Mbius domain-wall fermions. On generated configurations, we study the axial symmetry, overlap-Dirac spectra, screening masses from mesonic correlators, and topological susceptibility. We find that some of the observables are quite sensitive to lattice artifacts due to a small violation of the chiral symmetry. For those observables, we reweight the Mbius domain-wall fermion determinant by that of the overlap fermion. We also check the volume dependence of observables. Our data near the chiral limit indicates a strong suppression of the axial anomaly at temperatures 
220 MeV.

Properties of QCD matter change significantly around the chiral crossover temperature, and the effects on 
and topological susceptibilities, as well as the meson spectrum have been studied with much care. Baryons and the effect of parity doubling in this temperature range have been analyzed previously by various other groups employing different setups. Here we construct suitable operators to investigate chiral and axial symmetries in the baryon spectrum. Measurements for different volumes and quark-masses are done with two flavors of chirally symmetric domain-wall fermions at temperatures above the critical one. The possibility of emergent 
and 
symmetries is discussed.

On August 1999, the Director of Tokai Work proposed an activity regarding recycling and reuse of general waste generated from Tokai Works. The activity was initiated by the Waste Management and Fuel Cycle Research Center, and is now being in progress through out the Tokai Works. In the course of this activity, Plutonium Fuel Center had settled the Working Group and the issues related to the waste reduction have been examined. This report collects the problems that became obvious through the survey of existing segregation method, treatment process, and the amount of the waste generation, and accounts for the concrete methodology for the recycling and reuse of general waste. In order to reduce waste, it is necessary to aware of the facing issues and adopt the countermeasures proposed in this report whenever possible. The activity will then leads us to reduce waste generation, which in turn will enable us to make 100 % waste recycling possible.

Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is the fundamental theory describing the dynamics of quarks and gluons. The axial U(1) symmetry in QCD is broken at low temperatures by the effect of quantum anomaly, and it is important for understanding the phase structure of QCD to investigate what happens to this symmetry in the high-temperature regime of QCD. In this study, we simulate a high-temperature regime of 2+1 flavor QCD using dynamical chiral fermions such as the domain-wall fermions and the overlap fermions (obtained by the reweighting method). Here, for up- and down-quark masses, we investigate masses heavier than the physical point, near the physical point, and lighter than the physical point. For temperatures, we investigate the near-pseudo-critical temperature and slightly lower and higher temperature regions. For physical quantities, we report results and discussion on the behavior of the Dirac spectrum, axial U(1) susceptibility, topological susceptibility, and hadronic correlation functions.
