Experimental Particle Physics (Tomoko Ariga) Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A particle physics lab that studies neutrinos experimentally using accelerators.
AboutAbout the lab
Measuring neutrinos with accelerators to search for new physics.
Associate Professor Tomoko Ariga specializes in experimental particle physics and studies neutrinos using accelerators at CERN.
The research measures basic data on three generations of neutrinos, including the tau neutrino, and links it to the search for new physics.
Associate Professor Ariga is the project leader of FASERnu in the FASER experiment at the LHC and the deputy spokesperson of the NA65/DsTau experiment, leading international collaborations.
Associate Professor Ariga also supervises Degree Projects in the School of Interdisciplinary Science and Innovation, and the research of students in the Department of Physics, Graduate School of Science.
Key terms
- LHC
- An accelerator at CERN that collides protons with each other.
- Emulsion detector
- A detector that uses photographic emulsion to record the tracks left by passing particles.
- Tau neutrino
- There are three generations of neutrinos, and the tau neutrino is one of them.
ResearchResearch themes
Using accelerators at CERN, the lab measures basic data on three generations of neutrinos, including the tau neutrino, and searches for new physics. It has also applied its particle detector technology to imaging with cosmic rays and to antimatter research.
*Illustrative imageMeasuring three generations of neutrinos at the LHC
The lab studies high-energy neutrinos produced at the LHC with FASERnu. It measures basic data on three generations of neutrinos, including the tau neutrino, and links it to the search for new physics.
*Illustrative imageTrack recognition for ultracold neutron detectors
For detectors that capture ultracold neutrons with high position resolution, the lab studies methods for recognizing the tracks left by passing particles. Emulsion detectors are a key topic of this work.
*Illustrative imageStudying how tau neutrinos are produced
Using CERN's SPS accelerator, the lab investigates how tau neutrinos are produced. It focuses on Ds mesons and carries out this work as part of the international collaboration of the NA65/DsTau experiment.
