Kuze Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that probes the mysteries of elementary particles through accelerator and neutrino experiments.
AboutAbout the lab
Tackling the mysteries of cosmic evolution through elementary particles.
The Kuze Lab experimentally studies the structure and properties of elementary particles, the smallest units that make up nature.
The lab takes part in the ATLAS experiment at the LHC accelerator at CERN in Switzerland, aiming to discover new particles.
The other pillar is neutrinos, and the lab participates in experiments such as Super-Kamiokande and T2K.
The lab accepts master's and doctoral students not only from within the university but also from other universities.
Key terms
- Elementary particle
- The smallest particles that cannot be divided any further, which appear when matter is divided into ever finer parts.
- Trigger
- A mechanism that selects on the spot which events to record from the many events produced one after another by particle collisions.
- Neutrino oscillation
- A phenomenon in which a neutrino changes into a different type of neutrino while it travels.

The lab explores the structure and properties of elementary particles to approach the ultimate nature of the physical world and the mysteries of the evolution of the universe. Its research rests on two pillars: collider experiments, which use colliding-beam particle accelerators, and neutrino experiments.
*Illustrative imageATLAS experiment at the LHC
In the ATLAS experiment at CERN's LHC accelerator, the lab, together with KEK, Kobe University, and others, is in charge of a trigger system that reliably detects muons.
LHeC, a planned electron-proton collider
The lab studies the physics that can be explored at the LHeC, a planned collider that would use the LHC's proton beam to collide electrons and protons at the highest energies, including precision measurements of the Higgs boson.
*Illustrative imageSuper-Kamiokande and Hyper-Kamiokande
The lab takes part in the Super-Kamiokande experiment in the Kamioka mine. It is also involved in developing high-sensitivity photosensors and simulations for the planned Hyper-Kamiokande.
*Illustrative imageT2K experiment
The lab participates in an experiment that fires neutrinos produced at J-PARC in Tokai Village, Ibaraki Prefecture, toward Super-Kamiokande to measure neutrino oscillation over a long distance.
