On February 20, 2024, the Belle II experiment resumed data acquisition for physics measurements. Belle II is a particle physics experiment designed to investigate the properties of particles, such as B mesons, produced by the SuperKEKB accelerator. This research aims to study new physical phenomena that are crucial for understanding the mechanisms behind the creation of the universe. Operations were suspended for about 18 months starting in the summer of 2022, and major improvements were made to both the accelerator …

The X-ray astronomy satellite XRISM, primarily developed by JAXA Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), is set to launch on August 26th September 7th (Thursday). Equipped with the world’s most advanced X-ray spectroscopic capability, the XRISM satellite will shed light on the dynamic nature of the universe. It will unveil the velocity, turbulence, and other motions of high-temperature plasma in high-energy celestial bodies like galaxy clusters and black holes with unparalleled precision. The Nagoya University group, led by Assoc. …

The FASER collaboration (ForwArd Search ExpeRiment at the LHC; FASER) reported that the FASER detector has achieved observations accurate enough to detect the presence of neutrinos produced at the collider. Established in 2017, the FASER experiment aims to discover elementary particles that could contribute to a better understanding of dark matter, as well as to study neutrinos in the unexplored high-energy region to explore the unknown physical laws behind the Standard Model of elementary particles. The experiment focuses on secondary …
