Objectives

Faculty of Pure and Applied Sciences, University of Tsukuba has invited Quark-Gluon Plasma Research Unit of Institute for Subatomic Physics, Faculty of Sciences, Utrecht University, to promote the international joint research project. We will establish a world-class education and research core by setting the focus of our research on “FoCal” (Forward Calorimeter) detector, which is being jointly researched by both universities.

Three Goals (2022-)

  1. Completion of the final R&D, and formulation of the Technical Design Report (TDR) for FoCal
  2. Obtaining a large-scale external fund for the FoCal construction
  3. FoCal construction in ALICE and conduction new physics by FoCal

Major Achievements (2017-)

  1. Approval of FoCal project at LHCC, formation of FoCal collaboration
  2. Taking initiative within FoCal project by a large-scale external fund
  3. Production of FoCal prototypes and successful test beam experiments with those prototypes
  4. Leading roles in FoCal project and ALICE experiment

Keywords: Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), LHC (Large Hadron Collider), ALICE experiment, FoCal detector, CERN
