Experimental Particle Physics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies the properties of neutrinos through accelerator-based elementary particle experiments.

AboutAbout the lab
Measuring the properties of neutrinos through accelerator experiments.
The Particle Experiment Lab investigates elementary particles experimentally, using quantum beams produced at particle accelerator facilities.
Associate Professor Tomoko Ariga works on measuring fundamental data on the three generations of neutrinos, including the tau neutrino, and on searching for new physics.
The experiments use CERN accelerators, and the lab carries out international collaborations: the FASER experiment at the LHC and the NA65/DsTau experiment.
Applying particle detector technology, the lab has also worked on imaging using cosmic rays and on antimatter research.
Key terms
- Neutrino
- A type of elementary particle. There are three generations: electron, muon, and tau
- LHC
- A large collider at CERN. It collides protons with one another at high energy
- Emulsion detector
- A detector that records the paths (tracks) of passing particles in photographic emulsion
ResearchResearch themes
The lab measures fundamental data on the three generations of neutrinos through accelerator-based experiments, and looks for clues to new physics. Its particle detector technology has also been applied to imaging using cosmic rays and to antimatter research.
*Illustrative imageHigh-energy neutrinos of three generations
In FASER, an international collaborative experiment at the LHC, the lab uses the FASERnu detector to study the three generations of neutrinos in a high-energy region. It works on building and operating the detector and on data analysis.
*Illustrative imageTrack recognition for ultracold neutron detectors
Aiming at a detector that captures ultracold neutrons with high position resolution, the lab studies methods for recognizing tracks in emulsion detectors.
*Illustrative imageStudy of tau neutrino production
In the NA65/DsTau experiment, the lab uses the CERN SPS accelerator to investigate the production of tau neutrinos. The research focuses on Ds mesons.
