Takahiro Kawabata, Professor
0 student voices
The Kawabata Group studies the cluster structure of atomic nuclei, the structure of unstable nuclei, and related topics through experiments using accelerators. The Nuclear Experiment Lab as a whole investigates extremely rare phenomena inside atomic nuclei, as well as proton-rich and neutron-rich nuclei that do not exist in nature. It explores the properties of atomic nuclei as quantum many-body systems and the origin of the matter that makes up the universe. The faculty are divided into a nuclear structure subgroup and a nuclear matter subgroup. The latter studies the structure of unstable nuclei using nuclear reaction cross sections and nuclear moments. The lab's website introduces the Nuclear Experiment Lab as a whole, including groups such as the Itahashi Group.
Kenta Itahashi, Professor

The Itahashi Group is a group within the Nuclear Experiment Lab. Through experiments using mesons, double beta decay, and more, it investigates the origin of the matter that makes up the universe. The Nuclear Experiment Lab uses accelerators to create unstable nuclei and pionic atoms that do not exist in nature, and studies the properties of atomic nuclei. The Itahashi Group has a hadron spectroscopy subgroup, which uses mesons to study the origin of the mass of matter and the structure of the vacuum, and an elementary particle and nuclear spectroscopy subgroup, which studies double beta decay and related topics. The lab's website presents the group together with the Kawabata Group as the "Nuclear Experiment Lab."
Hajime Nanjo, Professor

The lab aims to elucidate the properties of elementary particles using huge particle accelerators and huge particle detectors. In the KOTO experiment at J-PARC, the lab studies the rare decay of the neutral kaon, and in the ATLAS experiment at CERN, it studies the properties of the Higgs boson. In the first semester, fourth-year undergraduates learn how to use measurement instruments and analyze data by measuring the muon lifetime, and from the second semester they work on their graduation research experiments. From the master's program onward, students are assigned to individual experiment groups.
Masaharu Aoki, Professor

The lab studies particle physics experimentally. Focusing on the muon, the second generation of charged leptons, the lab seeks to clarify what was happening in the hot early universe. Through research that measures phenomena occurring only very rarely (rare processes), the lab takes on the mysteries of the universe. The lab also works on technology for producing large numbers of muons and on advanced radiation detector technology.
Kazutaka Kudo, Professor

The lab conducts research on developing new superconductors. Making use of the properties of elements, the lab controls crystal structures to create new materials. The synthesized materials are examined for their crystal structures and superconducting properties through X-ray diffraction and various other measurements. For structural analysis of complex materials and detailed measurements of physical properties, the lab also conducts experiments at large-scale facilities in Japan and abroad together with collaborators.
Noriaki Hanasaki, Professor

The Hanasaki Lab (Strongly Correlated Physical Properties Group) manipulates electron properties such as charge, spin, and orbital degrees of freedom, and experimentally explores new quantum phenomena. Focusing on electron correlation effects, topological effects, and frustration effects, the lab covers a wide range of themes from fundamental to applied research. Research proceeds in a cycle of making samples, measuring them, thinking, and making again, and the lab builds its own measurement instruments as well. The lab is introduced as one where students and professors get along well, with frequent exchange with other universities, including joint research.
Yasuhiro Niimi, Professor
0 student voices
The Niimi Lab (Nanoscale Physical Properties Group) fabricates devices in which real materials are shrunk to the nanometer scale and studies their physical properties. The lab's research aims to explore properties specific to the nanoscale and to detect spin-related properties using spin currents. Prof. Niimi's motto is to enjoy research through free and lively discussion regardless of age or year of study. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Nanoscale Physical Properties Lab."
Jobu Matsuno, Professor
0 student voices
The Matsuno Lab (Interface Physical Properties Group) designs interfaces of transition metal oxides, which are strongly correlated electron systems, and studies them consistently from fabrication to evaluation. By controlling the symmetry and dimensionality of materials at atomic-scale interfaces, the lab develops new materials and pioneers new physical properties. Its research introduction covers control of skyrmions, electronic phases of iridium oxides, and detection of spin currents. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Matsuno Lab."
Michisato Toyoda, Professor

The Toyoda Lab (Mass Spectrometry Group) develops original mass spectrometers and conducts interdisciplinary research that brings together different fields using them. Mass spectrometry is a technique that measures the mass-to-charge ratio of ions (mass divided by charge number) and their abundance, and it can analyze even extremely small amounts of sample. The lab's history goes back to the development of Japan's first mass spectrometer in the late 1930s, and it has students from both the Physics and Chemistry programs. The lab also conducts research on mass spectrometry imaging, which visualizes the chemical components of biological tissues and cells.
Shinya Kanemura, Professor

The Kanemura Lab (Particle Theory Group 1) studies elementary particle physics, in particular particle cosmology and particle phenomenology. The lab builds new-physics theories that can explain unsolved problems in particle physics and astrophysics, and studies how to test them in various experiments. Using the properties of the Higgs boson, discovered in 2012, as a clue, the lab theoretically explores the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking and the new physics behind it. Following the direct detection of gravitational waves in 2016, the lab also studies whether particle theories can be tested using gravitational waves.
