Results in brief

Japan and Europe Network for Neutrino and Intensity Frontier Experimental Research

The JENNIFER project addresses two main issues: 1. the construction, operation and data analysis of the Belle II experiment, which in the next years will collect an unprecedented data sample at the SuperKEKB accelerator at KEK laboratory, where to look for tiny signals of new physics phenomena, in a completely complementary way to the direct searches performed at LHC. 2. The precise measurement of the neutrino oscillation parameters at the T2K experiment and the design of the future neutrino facility in Japan, with the aim of improving the precision of the measurement up to reveal new properties, such as the so called “CP violation”. Such issues and objectives belong to the research in fundamental physics which aims to understand the basic nature laws, and in turn the origin and evolution of our universe. However, such challenging experimental research require always relevant technology insights, which result in a boost for industrial innovation. Moreover the scientific collaboration between Europe and Japan and the wide communication activities included in JENNIFER are by itself an added value for the European society.

Project objective

European particle physics groups interested in searching signals of new physics both with neutrinos, at T2K experiment, and at the intensity frontier, with the Belle-II experiment at the SUPERKEKB machine, want to share between them and with KEK laboratory their knowledge in data analysis and detector technologies. Such knowledge sharing will enhance skills and competences of all participants, will allow Europe to play a primary role in the search for deviations from the actually known fundamental physics in the flavour sector and, last but not least, will produce an unprecedented collaboration with japanese scientists on the ground of dissemination and outreach.
