A lab that uses accelerators and neutrinos to probe the fundamental laws governing matter.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the fundamental laws that govern matter.
The High Energy Physics Lab conducts research aimed at elucidating the fundamental laws that govern matter, mainly through particle physics experiments using accelerators.
It has three groups: neutrino, ATLAS experiment, and cosmic microwave background (CMB).
The lab runs experiments at large facilities in Japan and abroad, such as J-PARC, Super-Kamiokande, CERN's LHC accelerator, and telescopes, and also develops detectors.
Its subfield name in the graduate school is "Particle Physics."
Key terms
- Neutrino oscillation
- A phenomenon in which a neutrino changes its type while in flight. Evidence that neutrinos have mass
- Supersymmetric particle
- A particle, not yet found, predicted by a theory in which every known elementary particle has a partner
- Cosmic microwave background (CMB)
- A remnant of light from the early universe, shortly after it was born. Microwaves that arrive from every direction in the universe

ResearchResearch themes
Mainly through particle physics experiments using accelerators, the lab conducts research aimed at elucidating the fundamental laws that govern matter. Its three groups, neutrino, ATLAS, and CMB, carry out experiments and apparatus development.
*Illustrative imageProbing Mass and Symmetry with Neutrinos
Through neutrinos, the lab aims to understand the origin of the mass of elementary particles and the violation of symmetry between particles and antiparticles. It studies neutrino oscillation at J-PARC and Super-Kamiokande.
*Illustrative imageThe ATLAS Experiment at the LHC
The lab carries out the ATLAS experiment at CERN's LHC accelerator. The experiment is expected to discover supersymmetric particles, which are also candidates for dark matter, as well as unexpected laws of physics.
*Illustrative imagePolarization Observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background
The lab precisely observes the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the afterglow of the Big Bang, aiming to elucidate the laws of physics that governed the creation of the universe. It also develops measurement technology and conducts dark matter search experiments that apply it.
