Abstract
A new RIKEN 28-GHz superconducting electron cyclotron resonance ion source (SC-ECRIS) has been installed for the superconducting RIKEN linear accelerator (SRILAC). The new SC-ECRIS control system mainly consists of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) embedded with the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System. To improve the reliability as compared with previous control systems, two types of PLC central processing units, sequential and Linux, have been installed in the same unit. Past experience has shown that new types of designs that can rapidly respond to system scalability are key. By connecting PLC stations using star-topology field buses, their rapid and cost-effective response to system changes is realized for the new devices. Furthermore, a unique data acquisition system employing a 920-MHz-band radio was developed to measure analog data such as the temperature at the high-voltage stage.

Abstract
To provide a very powerful vanadium (V) beam with an intensity of at least 6 particle μA for synthesizing a new superheavy element (SHE) with atomic number Z = 119, we have developed a high-temperature oven (HTO) system to evaporate the metallic V powder inside the new superconducting (SC) electron cyclotron ion source. We successfully extracted a V13+ beam with a maximum beam intensity of 600 eμA with 2.8-kW microwave power and 900-W heating power of the HTO. Furthermore, from a systematic study of the dependence of the beam intensity on the microwave power and the HTO power, we successfully produced a V13+ beam of 300 eμA at a consumption rate of 3 mg/h, allowing a one-month duration continuous beam to carry out the SHE synthesis. In addition, to avoid serious damage to newly introduced SC acceleration cavities by beam losses, the beam should be transported with a well-controlled emittance. To efficiently limit the beam emittance, we employed a slit triplet consisting of three pairs of slits installed around the focus point of the low-energy beam transport. The first result of the emittance reduction was observed by a pepper-pot type emittance meter as a function of the acceptance of the slit triplet.

Abstract
We observed the atomic 1s and 2p states of π^{-} bound to ^{121}Sn nuclei as distinct peak structures in the missing mass spectra of the ^{122}Sn(d,^{3}He) nuclear reaction. A very intense deuteron beam and a spectrometer with a large angular acceptance let us achieve a potential of discovery, which includes the capability of determining the angle-dependent cross sections with high statistics. The 2p state in a Sn nucleus was observed for the first time. The binding energies and widths of the pionic states are determined and found to be consistent with previous experimental results of other Sn isotopes. The spectrum is measured at finite reaction angles for the first time. The formation cross sections at the reaction angles between 0° and 2° are determined. The observed reaction-angle dependence of each state is reproduced by theoretical calculations. However, the quantitative comparison with our high-precision data reveals a significant discrepancy between the measured and calculated formation cross sections of the pionic 1s state.

Abstract
In this research, we used a 135 MeV/nucleon carbon-ion beam to irradiate a biological sample composed of fresh chicken meat and bones, which was placed in front of a PAGAT gel dosimeter, and compared the measured and simulated transverse-relaxation-rate (R2) distributions in the gel dosimeter. We experimentally measured the three-dimensional R2 distribution, which records the dose induced by particles penetrating the sample, by using magnetic resonance imaging. The obtained R2 distribution reflected the heterogeneity of the biological sample. We also conducted Monte Carlo simulations using the PHITS code by reconstructing the elemental composition of the biological sample from its computed tomography images while taking into account the dependence of the gel response on the linear energy transfer. The simulation reproduced the experimental distal edge structure of the R2 distribution with an accuracy under about 2 mm, which is approximately the same as the voxel size currently used in treatment planning.

Abstract
We report here that human MFGE8 encoding milk fat globule-EGF factor 8 protein (MFG-E8), also termed 46 kDa breast epithelial antigen and lactadherin, is transcriptionally activated by p63, or TP63, a p53 (TP53) family protein frequently overexpressed in head-and-neck squamous cell carcinomas, mammary carcinomas and so on. Despite that human MFG-E8 was originally identified as a breast cancer marker, and has recently been reported to provide peptides for cancer immunotherapy, its transcriptional control remains an open question. Observations in immunohistochemical analyses, a tetracycline-induced p63 expression system and keratinocyte cultures suggested a physiological link between p63 and MFGE8. By reporter assays with immediately upstream regions of MFGE8, we determined that the trans-activator (TA) isoforms of p63 activate MFGE8 transcription though a p53/p63 motif at -370, which was confirmed by a chromatin immunoprecipitation experiment. Upon siRNA-mediated p63 silencing in a squamous cell carcinoma line, MFG-E8 production decreased to diminish Saos-2 cell adhesion. Interestingly, the DeltaN-p63 isoform lacking the TA domain enhanced the MFGE8-activating function of TA-p63, if DeltaN-p63 was dominant over TA-p63 as typically observed in undifferentiated keratinocytes and squamous cell carcinomas, implying a self-regulatory mechanism of p63 by the TA:DeltaN association. MFG-E8 may provide a novel pathway of epithelial-nonepithelial cell interactions inducible by p63, probably in pathological processes.

Abstract
The RIKEN RI (radioactive isotope) Beam Factory is scheduled to commence operations in 2006, and its maximum energy will be 400 MeV u(-1) for ions lighter than Ar and 350 MeV u(-1) for uranium. The beam intensity will be 1 pmicroA (6 x 10(12) particles s(-1)) for any element at the goal. For the hands-on-maintenance and the rational shield thickness of the building, the beam loss must be controlled with several kinds of monitors. Three types of radiation monitors will be installed. The first one consists of a neutron dose equivalent monitor and an ionisation chamber, which are commercially available area monitors. The second one is a conventional hand-held dose equivalent monitor wherein the logarithmic signal is read by a programmable logic controller based on the radiation safety interlock system (HIS). The third one is a simple plastic scintillator called a beam loss monitor. All the monitors have threshold levels for alarm and beam stop, and HIS reads all these signals.

Abstract
The human lymphoblastoid cell line TK6 was used to study the cellular responses after low-dose (100, 200, 500 mGy) or high-dose (3 Gy) of X rays, C (22 keV.micron-1) and Fe (1000 keV.micron-1) ion exposures. p53 protein induction in individual cells was determined by indirect immunofluorescence staining. Cell-cycle progression after heavy-ion exposure was determined by using a laser scanning cytometer. A characteristic pattern of cell-cycle progression was observed with 3 Gy exposure of Fe ions but not with 100 mGy. Similarly such a pattern with 100 mGy C ion exposure did not match that with 3 Gy. The proportion of p53-induced cells is proportional to the probability of cell being hit by a primary heavy ion. The observed low-dose effect can be reflected in the probability of a hit, although detailed nature about their energy deposition must be considered for more precise estimation of such an effect. New detection methodology must be developed for identification of heavy-ion specific cellular responses.

Abstract
To better understand cellular responses in human lymphoblastoid cell TK6 after exposure to C-ion (22 keV/micrometer) and Fe-ion (1000 keV/micrometer), both protein induction and cell-cycle progression have been extensively analyzed by the recently developed techniques. While proceeding this line of analyses, we realized the importance of studying low-dose effect, in relation to the genetic alterations. Adaptive response by 5~20 cGy of such C- or Fe-ion irradiation to both lethal and mutagenic effects of the challenging X-ray exposure (1~3 Gy) was difficult to be seen in this TK6 cells, but surprisingly, a relatively high level of p53 and its related proteins induction was observed after low-dose irradiations of heavy-ions. Here, we focus to introduce the above results of genetic and biochemical studies to elucidate the adaptive response.

Abstract
Hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase gene (hprt) mutations were induced in human TK-6 lymphoblastoid cells by irradiation at a linear energy transfer (LET) of 250 or 310 keV/micron for carbon and neon ions, respectively. At such a high level of LET, ions will lose most of their total energy and stop shortly after passing through the cell. The hprt mutations were analyzed by multiplex PCR, long-PCR and DNA sequencing of both genomic and cDNA. Over half of the C ion-induced hprt mutations (10 of 19) were point mutations, in contrast to 15% of the mutations induced by Ne ions (three of 20). The remaining 47 and 85% of the C and Ne ion-induced mutants, respectively, are deletion events. The latter events include three complex losses of multiple non-contiguous exon regions in both ion irradiation collections. We note that mutations involving the exon 6 region are frequent in the Ne ion collection: all three of the complex events retained the exon 6 region with flanking deletion of sequence and three other mutants involved deletion of this region. It may be concluded that these high-LET C and Ne ion irradiations produce different mutational spectra.
