Experimental and Observational Instrument Development Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that develops detector technology used in experiments and observations.

AboutAbout the lab
Refining detection technology in the spirit of monozukuri (craftsmanship).
The Experimental and Observational Instrument Development Lab is a group within the Phenomenon Analysis Division of the Kobayashi-Maskawa Institute for the Origin of Particles and the Universe, and develops advanced experimental and observational technologies.
Its work follows the spirit of monozukuri (craftsmanship), a tradition of Nagoya University.
In particular, the lab develops image processing that reads nuclear emulsion data at high speed, as well as advanced photodetector and particle detector technologies for particle physics experiments and cosmic observation experiments.
The Kobayashi-Maskawa Institute for the Origin of Particles and the Universe has this development lab so that it can carry out its own research and development on the instruments needed to observe and measure phenomena.
Key terms
- Nuclear emulsion
- A material that records the tracks left by passing particles. Image processing is used to read it
- Photodetector
- A device for capturing and measuring light
- Particle detector
- A device for capturing and measuring particles such as elementary particles
ResearchResearch themes
