On August 12, 2012, the anticipated event for the element 113 (with the atomic number 113 and the mass number 278) was detected in the fusion reaction between ^<70>Zn and ^<209>Bi by the experimental group led by Dr. Kosuke Morita at RIKEN. The potential energy between two colliding nuclei consists of a short range nuclear attraction and the long range Coulomb repulsion, and the potential barrier, which is referred to as the Coulomb barrier, appears due to the strong cancellation between the two interactions. For relatively light systems, such as ^<16>O + ^<209>Bi, fusion takes place once the Coulomb barrier is overcome. In contrast, for massive systems, such as ^<70>Zn + ^<209>Bi used in the experiment by Morita, et al., the quasi-fission process, in which the two nuclei reseparate after the Coulomb barrier is overcome, becomes increasingly dominant, and the fusion cross sections are hindered accordingly. Moreover, even if the fusion is succeeded, the compound nucleus quickly decays by the (ordinary) fission. In this article, we first discuss how it is rare to synthesize a new element by heavy-ion fusion reactions and discuss a significance of the experimental result of Dr. Morita, et al. We also discuss a comparison between the so called hot fusion and cold fusion reactions, a transition of fusion dynamics from light systems to heavy systems, and the role of nuclear structure such as nuclear deformation on fusion of massive systems.

Hyper-nuclear physics activities, relevance, and scope in particle-, nuclear- and astro-physics are reviewed. The topic is the development of the nuclear and its generalization the baryonic force starting from the Yukawa-meory since 1934. It is stated that the development could be achieved by mutual relation between studies of baryon-baryon interactions and nuclear/hypernuclear structures.

The results from the Telescope Array experiment after the first five year observation are reviewed. We measured the energy spectrum of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) by two different types of detectors, the surface detector array (SD) and the fluorescence detectors (FDs). The energy spectrum by TA is fully consistent with the result from the HiRes experiment in the energy scale and the shape. We found a steepening in the energy spectrum at 5.4 x 10^<19> eV, which is also consistent with the claim firstly reported by HiRes, and later by Auger. The analysis of longitudinal development of air showers in the atmosphere shows that the UHECR mass composition is dominated by protons around the steepening. This is a supporting evidence of the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin cutoff, which may be formed as a result of UHECR energy losses via interaction with the cosmic microwave background photons in the inter-galactic space. However, we found no statistically significant anisotropy in the arrival directions of the current TA data, which is expected if UHECRs from nearby sources are preferably observed in the energy region beyond the steepening. The interpretation of the results and the future prospects are discussed.
