Revealing Mysteries of Particle Physics by Novel Computation for Atom and Molecules

Project Gist

Revealing Fundamental Mysteries of Particle Physics and Universe by using Atom and Molecules

Keywords

Atoms, Particle Physics, Universe, Neutrino, Origin of Matter

Background and Purpose

The goal of the particle physics is to clarify the evolution of the universe based on the unified theory of matters and forces. The aim of this SPIRITS project is to study mysteries in particle physics such as the smallness of neutrino mass and the origin of matters in our universe using the methods developed by atomic and molecular sciences.

Project Achievements

We have regularly held an interdisciplinary study group and built a broad network among young researches in Kansai area. We have organized multidisciplinary symposia between particle physics and chemistry in cooperation with Mie University and Ryukyu University, respectively. A topical session of this SPIRITS project has been designed in the international workshop on Computational Chemistry Symposium of ICCMSE.

Future Prospects

We will further develop the research towards understanding the unification of matters and forces based on the networks constructed by this SPIRITS project. We aim to obtain the Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas and the Bilateral Joint Research Projects.
