AIL for Particle Physics between France and Japan

which has both short and long term targets. As French and Japanese researchers have mutual interest in several particle physics projects, it will cover the today needs of teams conducting collaborative activities on detector developments, ILC accelerator R&D, LHC, neutrino and B physics, event generators and computing. Il will help mitigating the access to the experimental, R&D and test facilities available both in Japan and in France. It intends also to act as a modest test-bench for future large research organizations like tackling practical issues raised by ILC world-wide project types.

Host laboratories

The French host laboratories are strongly involved in joint projects with Japan. They will welcome and support Japanese physicists working at CERN (LHC) or at other French facilities. They will contribute together with the funding bodies to the AIL support and budget. Researchers Phd student and post-docs will be exchanged between the partners countries.

The AIL is open to any team (IN2P3 , DAPNIA or related universities) regardless of their affiliation as long as the scientific project has been approved by the AIL steering committee.

• LAPP (Annecy),
• LLR (Palaiseau)
• LPNHE (PARIS),
• LAL (Orsay),
• DAPNIA (Saclay),
• KEK (Tsukuba).

Scientific topics

Research projects will be selected by a bilateral steering committee among proposals submitted by the researchers.

7 Main scientific topics have been identified:

• Detector R&D (ILC, B-Physics, ...)
• LHC (support to Japanese working at CERN, Grid)
• B-Physics and super B factory
• Neutrino Physics (T2K , Opera, ...)
• Simulation, Event generators and data Analysis
• Computing (GRID, Geant4, High precision numerical computation, Lattice Data Grid)
• ILC accelerator R&D
