JAPAN´S PARTICLE ACCELERATOR MADE ITS FIRST TURNS

The Academy´s Institute of High Energy Physics (HEPHY) has contributed significantly to the SuperKEKB accelerator located near Tokyo. The HEPHY-Scientists played a crucial role in the design and setup of the atom smasher´s detector, the Belle II detector, that will catch the action when positrons and electrons collide together near the speed of light. Expectations run high: SuperKEKB`s predecessor brought a Nobel Prize for two Japanese scientists in 2008.
