Overview

The Science of Accelerators—the Ultimate Material Exploration Device

High energy accelerators are powerful tools for exploring the various components of each level of the natural world—from the simplest elementary particles and nuclei to atoms, molecules, and complex and exquisite life forms. The main goal of this program is to promote natural sciences by improving the performance of accelerators and to provide education on the specialized technology required for from both theoretical and experimental aspects, including research on the principles of accelerators and the development of advanced accelerator technologies. At the same time, through education and research in closely related fields such as radiation science, computer science, superconducting technology, and mechanical engineering, this program will comprehensively produce graduates who can play a central role in the future of accelerator science.
