Associate Professor Feb. 2011
I obtained my Ph.D. from Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1988 by top quark search at TRISTAN@KEK. After that I participated in rare decay experiment of KL→ µ+e @KEK and Z0 experiment at SLD@SLAC. Since 1997, I have changed my research interest to neutrino physics. I am one of the startup members of the KamLAND experiment and constructed the detector. The experiment discovered the reactor neutrino oscillation [1] and measured the Geo-Neutrinos for the 1st time [2]. I was awarded the 1st Koshiba prize in 2003 for the contribution to the experiment. I and my theory colleagues pointed out a particular importance of reactor based 13 experiment [3] and I initiated a reactor 13 experiment called KASKA in 2003 [4]. In 2006, the KASKA group joined the Double Chooz experiment [5]. I am now responsible for the PMT system of the neutrino target of the Double Chooz detector. The experiment started data taking from the end of 2010. It is hoped that by the time of this school, the first result will have been published and I can talk about the hot topic in the lecture. I am interested in teaching intuitive physics to students and am planning to give the lecture on neutrinos with a bit different way from the regular review style. I am studying possibilities of future neutrino experiments after the first round of the13 measurements [6]. I am also planning to include these topics in my lecture.
