RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
Current Experiments
- The Belle II experiment is located at KEKB, High Energy Accelerator Research Organization, in Japan. The primary goals of Belle II experiment are to investigate New Physics by studying B mesons, D mesons and tau leptons. The Super B Factory at KEKB is an open international project with unprecedented luminosity. The Belle II Collaboration consists of 400 physicists and engineers from more than 60 institutions in 14 countries from all over the world.
- The BABAR experiment at
SLAC, National Accelerator Center,
at Stanford University in California, USA. The primary goals of this experiment are to
study of CP asymmetries in B mesons decay and to measure the precise fundamental parameters
in the Standard Model. The BABAR is an international collaboration that consists
of 650 physicists and engineers from 75 institutions in 10 countries.
- The CMS experiment
at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. This
experiment is in the design and construction phase, and will start taking
data in 2007. The main goals are to answer the basic questions those
are related to a discovery of Higgs boson, supersymmetric particles, mini black holes, gravitons.
Currently there are 3600 people working for CMS, 3000 of which are scientists and engineers.
These people come from 183 institutes in 38 countries, spanning Europe, Asia,
America, and Australia.
- The Neutrino Factory and
Muon Collider in conjunction mainly with Fermi National
Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), Brookhaven National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley
National Laboratory, CERN, KEK, Science and Technology Facilities Council, and INFN.
The primary goal of this research is to measure the physics parameters describing
neutrino mixing, and in particular the prospects of observing and measuring CP violation in
the lepton sector. This collaboration consists of 135 scientists and engineers.
- The MICE experiment at
Accelerator Science and
Technology Centre in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. This experiment is designed and
constructed to show a section of cooling channel capable of giving the desired performance
for a Neutrino Factory. The leptonic CP violation in the lepton sector is a key ingredient
to explain the mystery of the baryon anti-baryon asymmetry in our universe.
This collaboration consists of 140 scientists and engineers from 7 countries.
