Research Projects
Neutrino and Astrophysics Research
Super-Kamiokande
Super-Kamiokande aims to reveal the Universe’s history and to explore the nature of elementary particles through the observation of neutrinos and a discovery of proton decay.
High Energy Cosmic Ray Research
Telescope Array(TA)
Aiming at highest energy cosmic ray physics by detecting weak light from atmosphere.
Astrophysics and Gravity Research
Gravitational Wave
We aim to promote gravitational wave astronomy by participating the world gravitational wave observation network with the large-scale cryogenic gravitational wave telescope, KAGRA.
HISTORY
Timeline
The Institute for Cosmic Ray Research (ICRR) conducts observations and studies cosmic rays from various aspects. Its predecessor was a lodge for research, called Asahi Hut, built on Mt.Norikura based on an Asahi Academic Grant. In 1953, it was transformed into the Cosmic Ray Observatory of The University of Tokyo.
