An early history of the KEK-PS (12 GeV Proton Synchrotron of the National Laboratory for High Energy Physics) is described. The first half of the article is devoted to a hard labor which KEK, as the first national scientific research laboratory in Japan, had to suffer. Cut down to 1/4 in budget, reduced from 40 to 12 GeV in energy, and fifteen years behind the world fronts like CERN-PS and BNL-AGS, KEK-PS could not expect a bright future. Happily, it turned out to be very productive as exemplified by the success of a neutrino oscillation experiment. The latter half of this article describes the PS physics output of the first ten years of its 30 year's life which ended in 2005.

The role of KEK-PS in the development of Japanese intermediate-energy nuclear physics is discussed. In spite of the low kaon beam intensities the hypernuclear physics programs has been successful by the use of (π, K) reactions for production of hypernuclei. Unique developments of detectors such as the large acceptance spectorometer SKS, the Hyperball for high resolution γ-ray spectroscopy, and the scintillation track detectors SCIFI/SCITIC were also important elements behind the experimental success. In connection with the hypernuclear studies new exotic phenomena were disclosed which covered hadron-, nuclear- and atomic-physics. Thus, the KEK-PS has left many interesting subjects for the successor, J-PARC.

The history of KEK-PS experiments can be divided into three periods. In the second period (1985-1998), it became possible to allocate long run time to a few large-scale kaon decay experiments. As a result, the KEK-PS became a competitor of world major laboratories in the field of kaon decay experiments. In the third period (1999-2005), the KEK-PS has become a front runner in neutrino and kaon-decay physics with the first accelerator long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment in the world as well as unique kaon decay experiments.

In the Booster Synchrotron Utilization Facility (BSF) of KEK, a novel project was started in 1980, in which 500 MeV protons was supplied into three research facilities of neutron science, muon science and medical science. In a long period of 1980-2006, this project has produced many great scientific results and led a broad field of sciences as the center of excellent of the world. This has also provided a precious chance that scientists in the various fields could discuss together. BSF was a great site of scientific conflation. The proton supply to those facilities was stopped on March, 2006.

Owing to the recent development of quantum optical experiments, one can make light pulses propagate faster than the speed of light, c. It is also possible to make them run at the speed of bicycles and even come to complete stop. These anomalous light velocities not only attract attentions from the viewpoints of applications but also provide opportunity to review the physics of wave propagation. We present electric circuits that simulate wave propagation and discuss the physical implications of superluminal propagation and the mechanism of freezing of light pulses.

The mysterious phase in Ce_xLa<1-x>B_6 is discussed with emphasis on the nature of the hidden order parameter. We explain the characteristic behaviors of ordered multipoles such as the electric quadrupole and the magnetic octupole, which become active in orbitally degenerate electron systems. We give the theoretical interpretation of the resonant X-ray measurement yielding that an antiferro magnetic octupole order is realized in this mysterious phase.

The electronic states in cuprate superconductors show remarkable asymmetry between electron- and hole-doped cases though both cases exhibit d-wave superconductivity. We argue that the asymmetry can be explained by using a single parameter t' that is the second-neighbor hopping, from the viewpoint of doped Mott insulators.
