The lab searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model using accelerators and detectors.
AboutAbout the lab
Uncovering how the universe came to be, with accelerators and detectors
The Yorita Lab is an experimental lab that tests the Standard Model of particle physics with precision and searches for new physics beyond it.
Making full use of the LHC, the world's highest-energy accelerator, the lab searches for unknown particles and new phenomena.
The lab also works on searches for dark matter in the universe using its own original detection technology.
The lab is also advancing research on applying advanced technologies such as deep learning and quantum technology to experiments.
Key terms
- Standard Model
- The theory that forms the foundation of present-day particle physics, explaining elementary particles and the forces acting between them
- Accelerator
- A device that accelerates particles to nearly the speed of light and collides them, creating a world of high energy
- Dark matter
- Unidentified matter that exists in the universe as mass but cannot be seen with light
ResearchResearch themes
Using the LHC, the world's highest-energy accelerator, the lab conducts precision tests of the Standard Model of particle physics and searches for unknown particles and new phenomena beyond it. With an approach that bridges particle physics and the universe, the lab aims to discover new physics.
*Illustrative imageTesting the Standard Model at the LHC
The lab uses the LHC, the world's highest-energy accelerator, to test the Standard Model of particle physics with precision. Using anything that deviates from it as a clue, the lab searches for unknown particles and new phenomena.
*Illustrative imageSearching for Dark Matter in the Universe
The lab conducts experiments that search for dark matter in the universe using its own original detection technology. This field also has methods for approaching the high-energy world without a huge accelerator.
*Illustrative imageApplying Deep Learning and Quantum Technology
The lab also works on applying advanced technologies such as deep learning and quantum technology to particle physics experiments. This work is carried out in parallel with the experiments at the LHC.
