Japan's high-energy physics laboratory KEK is undergoing a transition as it expands its science program with upgraded and new facilities. A 45-minute train ride north of Tokyo, Mt Tsukuba stands over ...
Ready to go: the Belle II experiment will run on Japan's SuperKEKB accelerator. (Courtesy: KEK) The first electron–positron collisions occurred at an upgrade to one of Japan’s premier particle-physics ...
It may not be as large, or as well known, as the Large Hadron Collider, but Japan is hoping its own atom smasher will prove just as useful. Called SuperKEKB, the accelerator is designed to deliver 40 ...
Everyone knows the electron, but in our daily routines of charging laptops and phones, we don’t often think of its antiparticle, the positron. Where has all the antimatter gone, in the long time ...
Japan’s High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) is readying what is considered the world’s most luminous or brightest particle accelerator. The system, dubbed the SuperKEKB, combines an ...
The High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) has reached a major milestone in the world’s most luminous or brightest particle accelerator. KEK has recently made the first physics run in the ...
