NAKAJIMA Yasuhiro

NAKAJIMA Yasuhiro is a faculty member in the Department of Physics at The University of Tokyo. His research focuses on particle and astroparticle physics experiments, with an emphasis on neutrino studies. His work includes investigations into the nature of neutrinos as elemental particles and astrophysical studies using neutrinos. A key goal is the world first observation of Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Backgrounds with the Gadolinium-loaded Super-Kamiokande detector (SK-Gd). He also studies matter-antimatter asymmetry using accelerator neutrinos from J-PARC and is involved in research towards observations at the Hyper-Kamiokande experiment.

Yasuhiro Nakajima is an Associate Professor of Physics at The University of Tokyo, specializing in experimental particle physics. His research focuses on neutrino oscillations and related phenomena, with significant contributions to experiments such as Daya Bay, T2K, and Super-Kamiokande. Nakajima's work includes the observation of electron-antineutrino disappearance, measurements of reactor antineutrino flux and spectrum, and searches for matter-antimatter symmetry violations. He has also contributed to the conceptual design of large-scale neutrino experiments like DUNE and Hyper-Kamiokande. His research aims to advance our understanding of neutrino properties and their role in fundamental physics.
