Research Summary
We are conducting two different research subjects. One is the hadron physics focusing at the interaction between mesons and nuclei in the “Pioneering Research Cluster”. The major activity is to study K-meson, second lightest meson having strange-quark, property in the nuclear matter using J-PARC. Another is the muon science, muon science researches covering from condensed matters physics to the fundamental science, mostly using RIKEN-RAL muon facility in “Nishina Center for Accelerator Based Science”.
