Memories of Jiro at Kyoto, SLAC and Hiroshima: 

Memories of Jiro at Kyoto, SLAC and Hiroshima Ken Sasaki Yokohama National University Towards precision QCD physics 　　　　　　　　dedicated to the memory of Jiro Kodaira 07.3.10

Jiro at Kyoto: 

Jiro at Kyoto Graduated from Kyoto Univ. in 1974 Finished Ph.D in 1979 1979-1980 RA at YITP, Kyoto Univ. We were young, anticipating bright future and happy Particle physics group at Kyoto Univ. at that time Students were admitted into faculties’ offices Jiro was at Matsuda’ office for years. 　　

Slide3: 

At Mt. Atago At home of M. Kobayashi (1976) (1977 ?)

Slide4: 

I shared office with Jiro for six months in 1976-77 His desk was always tidy and cleaned up His notebooks Jiro’note Tsuneo’s note My note

Slide5: 

He loved coffee He loved sake He loved to play GO He fell in love with Mieko Analysis of hadronic decays of Ψ/J particles in generalized Veneziano models, J. Kodaira and K. S. ; Phys. Rev.

Slide7: 

I visited his parents’ home at Suwa in 1979 　　Jiro grew up at Suwa Suwa Taisha Lake Suwa

Slide8: 

We were treated to regional specialites 　　　　　　　Horse meat 　　　　　　 Locusts　　　　　　　　　　 　Bee embryos ' Catch of the day' from Lake Suwa

Jiro at SLAC: 

Jiro at SLAC 1980-1982 JSPS Fellow at SLAC 　　 　(Postdocs: J. Kodaira, L. Trentadue, S. Parke, J. Polchinski, G. Bodwin, E. Kovac, C. Peterson, S. Gupta, ….…, K. S. He loved cars (He drove a big red Cadillac) Picnic at SLAC (1980)

Slide10: 

He loved wine Wine tasting at Napa Valley (1980)

Jiro at Hiroshima: 

Jiro at Hiroshima 1983-2005 at Hiroshima Univ. He was an excellent teacher and mentor. He supervised many students for their Ph.D theses Mt. Aso in Kyushu (1996) 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

Slide12: 

He loved cars (He drove a BMW) He was a gourmet 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Lobster　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　 One of his favorite places Sole

Slide13: 

He organized International Symposium on 'QCD Corrections and New Physcs' at Hiroshima in 1997 The mass of the lightest supersymmetric Higgs boson beyond the leading logarithm approximation, 　　　J. Kodaira, Y. Yasui and K. S.; Phys. Rev. D50, 7035-7041 (1994) The background field method: Alternative way of deriving the pinch technique's results, S. Hashimoto, J. Kodaira, Y. Yasui and K.

Slide14: 

It is very sad to admit that Jiro is no longer with us but I WILL never forget his contributions to particle physics and also our friendship for more than 30 years.
