Abe Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that theoretically explores physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics.
AboutAbout the lab
Unraveling the mysteries of elementary particles through theory.
The Abe Lab pursues theoretical research aimed at elucidating "physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics."
Elementary particles are the particles you arrive at when you break matter down piece by piece, and that cannot be broken down any further.
Currently, the lab's research centers on dark matter and Higgs physics.
The lab's website also introduces it under the name "Elementary Particle Theory Lab."
Key terms
- Standard Model
- The physical laws that known elementary particles obey. It successfully explains almost all experiments involving elementary particles.
- dark matter
- Unidentified matter, with properties different from those of known matter, that must exist in large amounts in the universe.
- Higgs field
- In the Standard Model, the field that gives rise to the mass of all elementary particles.

ResearchResearch themes
Using phenomena and facts that the Standard Model cannot explain as clues, the Abe Lab aims to uncover the nature of "physics beyond the Standard Model." Currently, its research centers on dark matter and Higgs physics.
*Illustrative imageSearching for the Nature of Dark Matter
Observations show that the universe must contain a large amount of unidentified matter whose properties differ from those of known matter. In addition to building models of dark matter, the lab has recently focused on kinetic equilibrium with the thermal bath and has studied its effect on the properties of the Higgs boson.
*Illustrative imageHiggs Physics
In the Standard Model, the Higgs field is the field that gives rise to the mass of all elementary particles. Focusing on scenarios in which the Higgs field is a bound state of more microscopic particles, the lab has theoretically studied the properties of the spin-1 new particle W' predicted in such scenarios and whether it can be tested in collider experiments.
