Hirose Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that smashes elementary particles together in accelerators to take on the mysteries of the universe.
AboutAbout the lab
Taking on the mysteries of elementary particles through accelerator experiments
The Hirose Lab conducts experiments to clarify the properties of elementary particles, aiming to resolve the mysteries that remain in the Standard Model of particle physics.
The lab participates in ATLAS, an international collaboration using the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Switzerland, and analyzes data from proton-proton collisions.
It works on precision measurements of the Higgs boson and searches for new particles that have not yet been found.
It is also advancing technology development for new detectors for next-generation experiments.
Key terms
- Standard Model of particle physics
- A theory that brings together the elementary particles, the smallest units that make up matter, and the forces acting between them
- Higgs boson
- A particle in the Standard Model that is thought to give mass to other elementary particles
- Accelerator
- A device that accelerates charged particles to high speeds and collides them for experiments

The lab's main research stage is ATLAS, an international collaboration using the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Switzerland. By innovating both detector technology and data analysis techniques, it aims to clarify the properties of elementary particles.
*Illustrative imagePrecision measurement of the Higgs boson
The lab analyzes high-energy proton collision data from the LHC to measure the properties of the Higgs boson in detail, and searches for new particles that have not yet been found.
*Illustrative imageDevelopment of new detector technology
To examine every bit of LHC data, the lab develops new silicon tracking detector technology and data analysis techniques.
*Illustrative imageTechnology development for next-generation accelerators
The lab develops new detector technology for future accelerator experiments, such as a Higgs factory and next-generation hadron colliders.
*Illustrative imageResearch on room-temperature quantum sensors
The lab also uses quantum sensors that operate at room temperature to detect as-yet-unknown interactions between elementary particles.
