Prof. Takaaki KAJITA
Nobel Laureate in Physics 2015
Director, Institute for Cosmic Ray Research,
University of Tokyo
Neutrino and Gravitational Wave Research in Kamioka
Date: 21 May 2019
Time: 4:00 p.m.
Venue: LT7, Lee Shau Kee Building, CUHK [Poster]
Prof. Kajita's almae matres include Saitama University (B.S.) and University of Tokyo (M.S., Ph.D.) where his advisor was the 2002 Nobel Physics Laureate, Masatoshi Koshiba. Since 1988 Prof. Kajita has been at the Institute for Cosmic Radiation Research, University of Tokyo, where he became an Assistant Professor in 1992, then Professor and Director in 1999.
Prof. Kajita's team at the Super-Kamiokande helped to prove the existence of neutrino oscillation and that neutrinos have mass. For this discovery, Prof. Kajita shared the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics with Canadian physicist Arthur McDonald. Kajita's and McDonald's work solved the longstanding Solar neutrino problem, which was a major discrepancy between the predicted and measured Solar neutrino fluxes, and indicated that the Standard Model, which required neutrinos to be massless, had weaknesses.
Prof. Kajita is currently the principal investigator of a kilometer-scale interferometric gravitational-wave detector located at the Kamioka Observatory, namely the KAGRA gravitational wave detector. This detector is expected to become operational in 2019 and will pioneer components that are cryogenically cooled to reduce thermal noise.
The inclusion of KAGRA to the world-wide network will improve our understanding of cataclysmic events by enhancing our ability to find electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational-wave detections.
