Tanaka Lab (ICEPP)
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that searches for physics beyond the Standard Model using ATLAS experiment data, AI, and quantum computing.
AboutAbout the lab
Beyond the wall of the Standard Model
The Tanaka Lab is an experimental particle physics lab that takes part in the ATLAS experiment at CERN.
The lab analyzes large-scale data obtained from proton-proton collisions to look for clues to physics beyond the Standard Model.
In addition to detector upgrades, the lab also carries out research and development in artificial intelligence and quantum computing, regardless of the experiment.
The lab works as a group together with other ICEPP labs and with researchers and graduate students from ATLAS Japan.
Key terms
- Standard Model
- The current fundamental theory that explains elementary particles and the behavior of the forces acting between them
- Higgs boson
- A particle involved in the mechanism that gives mass to elementary particles. It was discovered in 2012 in experiments at the LHC
- FPGA
- An integrated circuit whose function can be rewritten after manufacturing. It is used for high-speed data processing
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to discover, through the ATLAS experiment at CERN, phenomena that the Standard Model cannot explain. Its research and development covers a wide range, from data analysis and applications of machine learning and quantum computers to detector upgrades.
*Illustrative imagePrecision Measurements of the Higgs Boson and Searches for New Particles
Using the large-scale data of the ATLAS experiment, the lab measures the properties of the Higgs boson with high precision to look for deviations from the Standard Model. It is also pursuing research to directly find new particles, such as a second Higgs boson and supersymmetric particles.
*Illustrative imageApplications of Machine Learning and Quantum Computing
Using the latest machine learning methods, such as transformers and graph networks, the lab studies particle reconstruction and identification, as well as the discovery of new phenomena through anomaly detection. It also works on developing quantum computing algorithms and making use of large-scale computing resources.
*Illustrative imageCalorimeter Trigger and FPGA
To improve the trigger, which instantly selects and keeps only the necessary data, the lab is working on upgrading the trigger of the electromagnetic calorimeter of the ATLAS detector. It develops FPGA firmware using HLS (high-level synthesis), a C/C++-based approach.
