In order to investigate non-perturbative QCD phenomenon of multiple quarks at high temperature, we have carried out this study in cooperation with the PHENIX collaboration at BNL-RHIC. Very high-statistic data of more than 100 million events in gold on gold-nuclear collisions were successfully taken in 2000 to 2002. Spatial and temporal evolution of the hot and dense nuclear matter created during the collisions was studied through three-dimensional two-particle correlation functions of charged pion-pairs and kaon-pairs. We found very clear dependences of the source size parameters both on the impact parameter of primary nuclear collisions and on the momentum of observed pairs. It is concluded that a hydro-dynamical expansion is created inside the colliding section and the strong radial flow affects the momentum correlation of secondary particles at freeze-out, as we have seen in studies at the CERN-SPS energies. Long duration time of particle emission was not observed in the measurements of pions, and this fact turns out to exclude several models predicting longer duration time as the pair momentum increases. A new theoretical scenario is demanded to understand what's going on.An electro-magnetic calorimeter prototype composed of a 3 by 3 tower of lead-tungstate crystal (PWO) produced by Furukawa, was studied with photon beams at LNS, Tohoku University. It achieved the energy resolution of 32MeV for GeV photons. To develop a new photon detection system being replaced with aphotomultiplier tube, a readout system of an avalanche-photo-diode with a newly designed pre-amplifier was studied. We are now ready to build a proof model.As an extension of this study, we have submitted a new plan supposed by a Grants-in-Aid entitled "QCD matter at High-Temperature" starting in H15.

为了研究高温下多夸克的非微扰QCD现象，我们与BNL-RHIC的PHENIX合作单位合作开展了这项研究。 2000年至2002年成功获取了超过1亿次金核碰撞事件的极高统计数据。通过三维二维二维粒子研究了碰撞过程中产生的热而致密的核物质的时空演化。带电 π 介子对和 kaon 对的相关函数。我们发现源尺寸参数对初级核碰撞的撞击参数和观察到的对的动量有非常明显的依赖性。结论是，碰撞部分内部产生了流体动力学膨胀，并且强径向流影响了二次粒子在冻结时的动量相关性，正如我们在 CERN-SPS 能量研究中所看到的那样。在π介子的测量中没有观察到粒子发射的长持续时间，这一事实排除了几个预测随着对动量增加而更长的持续时间的模型。需要一个新的理论场景来理解正在发生的事情。东北大学 LNS 使用光子束对由 Furukawa 生产的 3 x 3 塔铅钨晶体 (PWO) 组成的电磁热量计原型进行了研究。它实现了GeV光子的32MeV能量分辨率。为了开发一种用光电倍增管代替的新型光子探测系统，研究了带有新设计的前置放大器的雪崩光电二极管的读出系统。我们现在准备建立一个证明模型。作为这项研究的延伸，我们提交了一项新的计划，该计划由一项资助计划提出，题为“高温下的 QCD 物质”，从 H15 开始。
