The lab approaches the beginning of the universe through the cosmic microwave background and interstellar dust.

AboutAbout the lab
Probing the beginning of the universe through precision CMB observations
The Hattori Lab studies the beginning of the universe through precision observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and research on interstellar dust.
The lab developed superconducting detectors for precision CMB observations, installed them on GroundBIRD, a CMB telescope located on Tenerife in Spain, and has started full-scale scientific observations.
This research was carried out as an international collaboration with overseas research institutions in countries such as Spain, the Netherlands, South Korea, and the UK, with the solution of fundamental questions as its ultimate goal.
Key terms
- cosmic microwave background
- CMB for short. Its precision observation is the key to exploring the beginning of the universe
- superconducting detector
- A detector used for precision CMB observations. In this research, a millimeter-wave polarization camera was built with the state-of-the-art MKID
- interstellar dust
- Dust drifting in space. Along with precision CMB observations, it was regarded as a key to this research
ResearchResearch themes
The lab carried out an international collaboration whose ultimate goal was to solve fundamental questions: how did the universe begin, and does it have an edge? The keys were precision observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and research on interstellar dust.
