| < < | On October 11, the Ambassador of France to Japan, His Excellency Laurent Pic and his party visited KEK Tsukuba campus to attend a ceremony of raising the French national flag at the KEKB Tsukuba Laboratory, where the BelleⅡdetector is installed and is being prepared for the first beam collision operation next spring. The French flag joined the flag of 23 other nations in KEKB Tsukuba Laboratory as France became the 24th collaborative nation of the BelleⅡexperiment. In addition to His Excellency, the visiting party included Jean-Christophe Auffray, S&T Counselor of the French Embassy in Tokyo, Jacques Maleval, Director of the CNRS Tokyo Office, Ursula Bassler, Deputy Director of CNRS/IN2P3, Patrice Verdier, Scientific Director of CNRS/IN2P3, Philip Bambade, LAL physicist and Co-director of TYL-FJPPL, and 8 researchers from CNRS/IN2P3 involved in the BelleⅡexperiment. They were met and greeted by KEK Director General Masanori Yamauchi, Executive Director Yasuhiro Okada, Deputy Director of KEK/IPNS and Co-director of TYL-FJPPL Junji Haba, Prof. of KEK/IPNS and the BelleⅡFinancial Officer Yoshihide Sakai, Prof. of KEK/IPNS and the BelleⅡProject Manager Yutaka Ushiroda and other KEK researchers. The party toured the KEKB Tsukuba Laboratory with KEK members and then together raised the French flag from a handrail of the B2 corridor, just in between the Czech and German flags according to the alphabetical order. At the reception which was held to celebrate the French participation in the BelleⅡexperiment, KEK Director General, Dr. Yamauchi told everyone, “Participation of French scientists in this program will be essential and will further strengthen the capability to address our intellectual challenges.” His Excellency responded, “Understanding the matter and universe also benefit many other areas such as chemistry, life and material sciences. …It is a chance for France to work more closely with members of this physics research program.” Grass-roots Activities Bear Fruit…TYL-FJPPL Contribution The relationship between French and Japanese scientists, especially in the field of particle and astroparticle physics, has developed and improved gradually owing to a number of grass-roots efforts. The TYL-FJPPL (“Toshiko Yuasa” France Japan Particle Physics Laboratory) is one of them. The TYL-FJPPL was created by CNRS/IN2P3, CEA/Irfu and KEK in 2006 to promote collaboration between French and Japanese teams of researchers working in subatomic physics and related areas. It was named after Dr. Toshiko Yuasa (1909-1980), a pioneering Japanese female physicist who stayed in France many years to pursue research in nuclear physics. The TYL-FJPPL uses limited funds from 3 institutes to support staff exchanges and joint training initiatives for students and junior staff. A general workshop is also organized annually to bring together the teams involved. Topical workshops, schools and other special events are moreover regularly sponsored both in France and in Japan. | |||||||
