Welcome

About the Workshop

The Grant-in-Aid for Transformative Research Area (A), "Investigation of the Origin and Evolution of Matter in the Universe by Extremely Rare Events: Frontier of Creating a New Insight on the Matter in the Universe", will hold a workshop. Workshop of the Transformative Research Area (A): "Investigation of the Origin and Evolution of Matter in the Universe by Extremely Rare Events"
  • Date: Sep. 28 (Mon), 2026, around 12:00 – Sep. 30 (Wed), 2026, around 16:00
  • Venue: Ookayama Campus, Institute of Science Tokyo
In this research area, we aim to address fundamental questions about the history of the universe and the evolution of matter, such as:
  • Why does only matter survive, while antimatter appears to be absent?
  • What is the nature of dark matter, which constitutes about five times more than ordinary matter?
  • How were heavy elements, which did not exist in the early universe, produced and distributed?
These questions will be investigated through the world’s most sensitive searches for extremely rare events, including: neutrinoless double beta decay, direct detection of dark matter, observation of supernova neutrinos.

Main Topics
  • Neutrinoless double beta decay
  • Identification of dark matter as an unknown gravitational source
  • Supernova neutrino observation and supernova early warning
  • Analytical techniques, including ultra-low background technologies, as a basis for rare-event searches and their applications
  • Theoretical studies to systematize the origin and evolution of cosmic matter based on rare-event research
We look forward to your participation in the workshop.
