Hitoshi Shimamoto, one of the calmest guys in the past Takahara laboratory students, was in charge of this work. He was so cool but had great passion with strong sense of responsibility to the research. He proposed this project by himself when he advanced to MC2, then compiled this work by enormous efforts before he leaves laboratory. Additionally, he received the outstanding performance award in the Master thesis presentation in our department. I’m proud of working together with him. I hope this work could be a pride of the research life in Kyushu University.
