Elucidating the mechanisms by which quarks and gluons are confined within hadrons is the most fundamental challenge in QCD. To solve this problem, it is important to understand the role of quark and gluon condensation and the associated spontaneous symmetry breaking in making hadrons. Recently, the stress distribution inside the proton has become experimentally measurable. It is extracted from the gravitational form factors that characterize the matrix elements of the energy-momentum tensor for the proton. This stress distribution is the force that confines quarks and gluons inside hadrons, opening the way to approach the above issues from the viewpoint of stress distribution. In this talk, we investigate the contributions of phenomena reflecting chiral and scale symmetry breaking, such as quark and gluon condensation, to the pressure distribution inside the nucleon, and show that these contributions are essential for stabilizing the nucleon.

At the TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (1F), an investigation inside the reactors has been carried out. In order to safely carry out the decommissioning work such as fuel debris retrieval and building demolition, it is important to estimate the contamination in primary containment vessel for control the decommissioning planning and the worker radiation exposure levels. Therefore, the analysis of the deposit inside the penetration for the 1F Unit 2 primary containment vessel ("X-6 penetration") was performed to clarify the components and activity. The smears from the deposit were used for the analysis. Non-destructive analysis such as gamma-ray spectrometry, X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) and Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) for the smear-samples were performed to determine the gamma-nuclides and the morphology of elements in the deposit. Furthermore, in order to evaluate the nuclides and nuclide composition of the deposit in detail, the smear-samples were dissolved and the quantitative analysis of gamma-nuclides, Sr-90, alpha-nuclides in the dissolved solution were conducted. The results (non-destructive analysis and quantitative analysis) were compared with the results of samples collected at different locations in the X-6 penetration in 2020. In the gamma-ray spectrometry as non-destructive analysis where the smears were analyzed directly, Co-60, Sb-125, Cs-134, Cs-137, Eu-154, Eu-155 and Am-241 were detected. In XRF results, Fe originating from construction material was detected as a major element and small amount of U and Zr originating from the fuel and fuel cladding were also detected. In SEM-EDX results, O and Fe were found as a major element of the deposit and U particles coexisting with Fe, Si, Cr, Ni and Zr were also found. These results were consistent with the SEM-EDX results of the samples collected in 2020. In radioactivity analysis, quantitative values for gamma-nuclides (Co-60, Sb-125, Cs-134, Cs-137, Eu-154, Eu-155), Sr-90, Pu-238, Pu-239+240, Am-241, Cm-244, U-235 and U-238 were obtained. Using the results, the ratios of radioactivity based on Cs-137 and U-238 were calculated. Both sets of the ratios were compared to the calculated value of the Unit 2 fuel composition from ORIGEN.

Times Cited Count：1 Percentile：0.00(Astronomy & Astrophysics)In this study, we investigate the internal energy and stress distribution of the pion, as extracted from gravitational form factors within a top-down holographic QCD framework. We demonstrate that the confining pressure inside the pion is also predominantly governed by the QCD scale anomaly, consistent with earlier findings for the nucleon in the instant form, now confirmed in the light-front form for the pion. Furthermore, our analysis shows that, in the large-
limit realized in this holographic setup, the scalar glueball acts as the mediator of the confining pressure. These results provide further evidence for the universal role of the scale anomaly in hadron stability.

Times Cited Count：2 Percentile：76.30(Astronomy & Astrophysics)We investigate how the QCD scale anomaly contributes to the internal pressure structure of hadrons, employing the decomposition of the energy-momentum tensor into its trace and traceless parts. By utilizing recent model-independent results for gravitational form factors, we analyze the pressure distributions of both pions and nucleons in the instant form and the light-front form. Our analysis reveals that, in all examined cases, the confining pressure is predominantly driven by the scale anomaly. This indicates that the dominance of the scale anomaly in generating internal pressure is a robust and universal feature, regardless of the specific hadron, theoretical model, or form used in the analysis.

Times Cited Count：3 Percentile：58.35(Astronomy & Astrophysics)We study the impact of the QCD scale anomaly on the gravitational form factors of the nucleon, focusing in particular on the 
form factor, the associated stress distribution, and internal force structure. Our analysis is based on a Skyrme model constructed within the framework of scale-invariant chiral perturbation theory. This model incorporates both the pion and a scalar meson, which represent the effects of the current quark mass and the gluonic quantum contributions to the scale anomaly, respectively. By varying the scalar meson mass, we investigate how the gluonic part of the scale anomaly affects the mechanical properties of the nucleon. We find that the gluonic contribution is essential for satisfying the stability conditions of the nucleon and generating the confining pressure. We also calculate the momentum-transfer dependence of , and the result shows good agreement with lattice QCD.

Times Cited Count：10 Percentile：98.32(Astronomy & Astrophysics)We investigate the confining pressure inside the nucleon and the associated gravitational form factor, known as the D-term, within a skyrmion based on the scale-invariant chiral perturbation theory. In this approach, the effects of scale symmetry breaking are incorporated through the coupling of a scalar meson field to the scale anomaly, following the low-energy theorem. Utilizing the decomposition of the nucleon's energy-momentum tensor, we clarify how the scale anomaly components contribute to the internal pressure. Our analysis reveals that the gluon-induced scale anomaly predominantly governs the confining pressure. Compared to the result in the chiral limit of conventional chiral perturbation theory, this approach yields a total pressure profile more consistent with lattice QCD data. Furthermore, the pressure due to the gluonic anomaly extends over a wide spatial region, leading to a significant contribution to the D-term.

Times Cited Count：15 Percentile：86.20(Astronomy & Astrophysics)The gravitational form factors (GFFs) of pions are calculated from a top-down holographic quantum chromodynamics (QCD) approach with momentum transfer dependence for the first time. It is important because the GFFs of hadrons have information on the internal stress distribution that may provide insight into the mechanism of how QCD forms hadrons. The forward limit value of this GFFs, i.e. the D-term, was also obtained. Furthermore, in this approach, we observe the so-called glueball dominance, in which pions have gravitational interactions via infinite glueball spectra.

with a high contrast ratio through the interaction between accelerated electron bunches and the harmonic pulses. From numerical simulations of the amplification processes of high-order harmonic pulses in the undulator, optimum conditions of the electron bunch duration interacting with the high-order harmonic pulses were investigated for generating full-coherent and intense pulses in the extreme ultraviolet wavelength region.

When the amplification conditions were fulfilled, strong enhancement of the radiation intensity by a factor of 650 was observed. The random and uncontrollable spikes, which appeared in the spectra of the Self-Amplified Spontaneous Emission (SASE) based FEL radiation without the seeding source, were found to be suppressed drastically to form to a narrow-band, single peak profile at 61.2 nm. The properties of the seeded FEL radiation were well reproduced by numerical simulations. We discuss the future precept of the seeded FEL scheme to the shorter wavelength region.
