The Nuclear and Hadron Lab experimentally studies interactions and the fundamental properties of many-body systems across a wide range of levels of matter: atoms, atomic nuclei, hadrons, and quarks. In particular, it seeks to understand the strong interaction, which shows completely different faces depending on energy, from the standpoint of mesons and nucleons as well as quarks and gluons. The lab conducts experiments using accelerator and nuclear reactor facilities in Japan and abroad, such as J-PARC and RIBF, while developing new measurement techniques and apparatus on its own.

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."

The Cosmic Ray Lab uses knowledge from physics to uncover the nature of the universe, and studies the extreme universe as a laboratory for physics. Using observational data from X-ray and gamma-ray satellites, including the XRISM satellite, which carry detectors the lab has developed itself, the lab investigates the mysteries of supernova remnants, neutron stars, and the black hole at the Galactic center. The lab designs and develops its own instruments and analyzes observational data, and it places great value on the experience of coming into direct contact with natural phenomena. The lab also takes on research that can benefit the future of humanity, such as medical applications of radiation, radiation from thunderclouds, and exploration of water resources on the Moon.

The Elementary Particle Theory Lab searches for and constructs theories that describe invisible elementary particles in a unified way. Aiming to complete a theory of quantum gravity and to understand quantum field theory, the lab draws on theories of every kind from physics and mathematics. Its research topics range from superstring theory and the holographic principle, to field theory and mathematical physics, QCD and strongly correlated condensed matter systems, and black holes and cosmology. Regardless of age or position, faculty members and students discuss on an equal footing and stimulate one another in their research.

The Nuclear Theory Lab theoretically studies, from the standpoint of the strong interaction, everything from quarks and gluons to hadrons such as nucleons and mesons, and the structure and reactions of atomic nuclei. The lab draws not only on nuclear physics but also on ideas from particle physics, astrophysics, and condensed matter physics. It has two subgroups, one for quarks and hadrons and one for nuclear many-body systems, and works closely with the Nuclear Theory Lab at the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics. As a result, graduate students have many choices of supervisors, and the range of research is broad.

The Theoretical Astrophysics Lab theoretically studies the origin and evolution of the various hierarchical structures of the universe, from the universe as a whole to galaxies and stars. Founded in 1957 by Prof. Hayashi, the lab conducts broad research centered on three pillars: gravitational waves and gravitational theory, cosmology, and astrophysics. Members are encouraged to freely pursue topics that interest them, without narrowing the scope of their research. The lab collaborates closely, in both education and research, with the Astrophysics and Cosmology Group at the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics.

The Particle Beam Science Lab (Wakasugi Lab) uses accelerator technology to study the structure and mass of unstable nuclei. Using electron scattering with high-energy electron beams, the lab studies the structure of unstable nuclei in which the balance between the numbers of protons and neutrons has been lost. The lab also works on precisely measuring, at world-record speed, the masses of short-lived nuclei that are produced only very rarely, using a heavy-ion storage ring. The lab is located at the Institute for Chemical Research (Uji Campus) and participates as a cooperating research group in Physics II (Beam Physics Subgroup).

The Laser Matter Science Lab (Tokita Lab) studies the interaction between ultra-high-intensity lasers and matter. The lab develops its own world-leading laser systems and takes on the challenge of using them to discover new interactions. The lab is located at the Institute for Chemical Research (Uji Campus) and accepts graduate students as the Laser Matter Science subgroup of Physics II in the Graduate School of Science.

The Nuclear Radiation Physics Lab focuses on the generation of photons and particle beams in the X-ray and gamma-ray range, and on their interactions with matter. Using nuclear resonant scattering of synchrotron radiation and gamma-ray nuclear spectroscopy with nuclei as probes (Mössbauer spectroscopy), the lab investigates properties such as the electronic states of materials with ultrahigh energy resolution. The lab is located at the Institute for Integrated Radiation and Nuclear Science (Kumatori), and is a cooperating laboratory of the Department of Physics and Astrophysics, Graduate School of Science.

The Nuclear Beam Condensed Matter Physics Lab studies the structure of atomic nuclei using nuclear spectroscopy, and conducts interdisciplinary research that uses atomic nuclei as probes. The lab investigates short-lived neutron-rich nuclei produced by neutrons from a research reactor, using instruments such as the online isotope separator (KUR-ISOL). The lab is located at the Institute for Integrated Radiation and Nuclear Science (Kumatori), and supervises graduate students as a cooperating laboratory of the Department of Physics and Astrophysics, Graduate School of Science.
