Research Summary

We promote the EUSO (Extreme Universe Space Observatory onboard Japanese Experiment Module) mission to explore the origin of extreme energy particles, above 1020eV. In addition, we conduct studies of the wakefield acceleration of ultra high energy cosmic rays around accreting supermassive blackholes. formation and merging of a black hole binary. Next, we also study the formation process of the life planets and the origin of life in the Hadean Earth, joining KAKENHI Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas“Hadean Bioscience”. We are proposing “Tandem planet model” as a new frame work of planetary formation.
