The Cosmology Lab belongs to the Fundamental Theory Division of the Kobayashi-Maskawa Institute for the Origin of Particles and the Universe, and pursues research that merges cosmological theory and particle theory. Its research topics include dark matter, dark energy, the origin of the baryon number of the universe, Big Bang nucleosynthesis, and inflation models. The lab advances this research with the participation of researchers in cosmological theory. It works closely with the Particle Theory Lab, the String Theory and Mathematical Structure Lab, and the Theoretical Computational Physics Office in the same division.

The String Theory and Mathematical Structure Lab belongs to the Fundamental Theory Division of the Kobayashi-Maskawa Institute for the Origin of Particles and the Universe, and studies the mathematical structure of symmetry and its breaking. Researchers from the Graduate School of Mathematics participate in the lab and pursue research on string theory, which also bears on the origin of matter and spacetime. They also work together on research such as gauge theory dynamics.

The Particle Theory Lab belongs to the Fundamental Theory Division of the Kobayashi-Maskawa Institute for the Origin of Particles and the Universe at Nagoya University, and aims to elucidate new laws of physics theoretically. It integrates results from simulations on the dedicated high-performance computers of the Theoretical Computational Physics Office, particle physics experiments, and research on the universe and cosmic rays. Based on these, the lab works to elucidate Standard Model dynamics and builds theories beyond the Standard Model. Within the Fundamental Theory Division, the lab also conducts research in cooperation with the Cosmology Lab, the String Theory and Mathematical Structure Lab, and the Theoretical Computational Physics Office.

The Tau Lepton Data Analysis Lab is an analysis lab within the Phenomenon Analysis Division of the Kobayashi-Maskawa Institute for the Origin of Particles and the Universe at Nagoya University. The lab rapidly analyzes large volumes of experimental data obtained from accelerator experiments at CERN and KEK. It aims to discover new particles and new phenomena beyond the Standard Model. The institute has its own computer system for rapidly analyzing experimental data.

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.

The Higgs Physics Lab is one of the divisions that make up the International Center for Flavor Physics (FlaP) at the Kobayashi-Maskawa Institute for the Origin of Particles and the Universe, Nagoya University. FlaP was established in April 2023 to advance international research and education in physics focused on particle flavor, with the aim of discovering new physics beyond the Standard Model. As a hub for promoting international collaborative research at Nagoya University, FlaP states that it will lead the development of cutting-edge measurement instruments and data analysis that incorporates data science.

The Lepton Physics Lab is a division of the International Center for Flavor Physics (FlaP) at the Kobayashi-Maskawa Institute for the Origin of Particles and the Universe (KMI), Nagoya University. The center was launched in April 2023 to pursue physics focused on particle flavor, where major progress is expected in the 2020s, and to discover new physics beyond the Standard Model. Through collaboration between its Phenomenon Analysis Research Division and its Fundamental Theory Research Division, the center studies elementary particles in a more comprehensive and multifaceted way. The center pursues integrated research that cuts across various projects, aiming to get closer to solving the mystery of the vanished antimatter.

The International Research Center for Dark Matter is a hub at the Kobayashi-Maskawa Institute for the Origin of Particles and the Universe (KMI), Nagoya University, for uncovering the identity of dark matter. Dark matter is matter that cannot be observed with electromagnetic waves. Its existence is known from astronomical observations, but its identity remains a mystery. It is likely to be an unknown elementary particle, and determining what it is is one of the challenges spanning astrophysics and particle physics. The center was established in April 2025 as a hub of an international network that shares findings and deepens collaboration across search projects and other approaches.
