International School of High-Energy PhysicsThe Kyushu University Faculty of Sciences and the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) joined forces with the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and other high-energy physics research institutions in Asia, Europe, and the Pacific Region to hold an international seminar for their young researchers, mostly doctoral students. Known as the First Asia-Europe-Pacific School of High Energy Physics (AEPSHEP 2012), this prestigious, first-of-its-kind seminar was held for approximately two weeks, in Fukuoka, from October 14 to October 27, 2012. The program included 83 young researchers, who successfully passed written application screening, and 20 top-notch lecturers, including KEK Director-General Atsuto Suzuki and CERN Director-General Rolf-Dieter Heuer. The seminar aims to train the future generation of leaders by providing a learning environment that Outreach Activities : Lectures and Science CaféThe Experimental Particle Physics Laboratory facilitates active outreach activities such as lectures and a science café to make general public more aware of its research activities. Local residents need to know more about what the laboratory is doing, particularly for the success of major projects such as the ILC Project.The Laboratory offers regular lectures for local residents with the help of Fukuoka Prefecture and the various local governments. With the recent reports on the discovery of a Higgs-boson-like particle with the LHC at CERN, more than 200 people have turned up to these lectures, showing just how much interest there is in the community. The Laboratory also hosts a science café once a month. This is a relatively small-scale event (around 20–30 people), which means that people can become more intimately acquainted with the researchers in an environment where questions are welcomed.together with the High-Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK). This survey will be led by Professor Tetsuro Esaki, an expert in geological surveying. Constructing the ILC means creating an international science city with a truly international laboratory where thousands of researchers from across the globe will gather. In fiscal year 2011, “Science Frontier Kyushu” was drafted, which is a plan for the city based on the ILC laboratory and which promotes the superior infrastructure (e.g., transportation), culture, residential environment, and geographical advantage of the city as entrance to Asia. The experimental particle-physics laboratory is currently conducting physics research and detector R &D for future ILC experiments. In May 2012, the ILD workshop was held at the Hakozaki campus of Kyushu University. ILD is the international research collaboration responsible for designing the detector for the ILC. After a heated allows participants to obtain the latest information directly from researchers at the forefront of the field and by facilitating these exchanges every two years.Website AEPSHEP http://2012.aepshep.orgdiscussion, a detailed report was scheduled to be made by December, 2012. Of the various detector components, Kyushu University is responsible for the electromagnetic calorimeter that will measure the energy of electrons and photons. Through the participation in the international research collaboration CALICE, the Laboratory developing a high-performance electromagnetic calorimeter that uses silicon sensors and scintillators.20Kyudai News No.24Group photo of ILD workshop 2012AEPSHEP 2012 Group PhotographScience Café
