Three hubs:

Hubs for Education and Research, and Curriculum The three hubs and two satellite laboratories below are in place for education on the history of the universe. Hub and satellite laboratory for experimental particle physics: We plan to place a satellite laboratory for CDF international collaborative research at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in the United States as a hub for education and research on particle physics in fiscal 2007. Coordinator teachers will stay there. However, the laboratory will be moved to CERN for ATLAS international collaborative research in fiscal 2009. Hub and satellite laboratory for experimental nuclear physics: We plan to place a satellite laboratory for ALICE international collaborative research at CERN as a hub for education and research on nuclear physics in fiscal 2007. Coordinator teachers will stay there. Hub for observational astrophysics: Coordination with the Australian National Astrometric Telescope Institute for VLBI international collaborative research or the NAOJ Hawaii Observatory is under consideration. The feature as a satellite laboratory is carried out on our campus at Tsukuba in fiscal 2007. Seminar on the History of the Universe I (full year, 1 credit) and II (full year, 1 credit): Fundamental subject This subject offers education on the history of the universe mainly by reporting progress in masterfs theses in cooperation between various teams across fields. Study at a Foreign Laboratory on History of the Universe I (1 credit) and II (1 credit): Special subject This subject offers practical training in related fields by dispatching students to overseas hubs for a month in the first year and the second year of their masterfs program. A credit is approved in consideration of the results of studying and reporting at Tsukuba before and after the practical training, and researching and studying on site. Practical training in this fiscal year will be conducted at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in the United States for Study at a Foreign Laboratory I, and at CERN for Study at a Foreign Laboratory II. Study at outside laboratory on Observational Astrophysics (1 credit): Special subject This subject offers practical training at the hub for observational astrophysics for a week in the first year or the second year of a masterfs program. A credit is approved in consideration of the results of studying and reporting at Tsukuba before and after the practical training, and researching and studying on site. Special Lecture on the History of the Universe I (1 credit) and II (1 credit): Special subject This subject offers intensive lectures on research into the history of the universe by part-time lecturers. Research on History of the Universe I (6 credits) and II (6 credits): Special subject Research I enables students to learn techniques for experiments and observation, data processing, and physical analysis as well as to conduct research for their masterfs thesis. Research II enables students to complete their masterfs thesis by developing their research following Research I. Study at a Foreign Laboratory on History of the Universe III (1 credit): Special subject In this subject, students need to participate in an International Research Plan Review Meeting, and elaborate and present their doctoral thesis. These are requirements for approval of the credit. Special Lecture on the History of the Universe III (1 credit): Special subject This subject offers intensive lectures by part-time lecturers about research into the history of the universe. Research on History of the Universe III (6 credits), IV (6 credits) and V (6 credits): Special subject n Research III, students plan and schedule research for their doctoral theses. They develop their research in Research IV with stays at hubs for about six months, and complete their doctoral theses with stays at hubs for about six months.
