French and Japanese researchers are commonly involved in several particle physics projects including ILC, LHC, neutrinos and B physics and computing. Experimental, R&D and test facilities are available both in Japan and in France motivating short and medium term stays in the partner country.

IN2P3-CNRS, DAPNIA-CEA in France and KEK in Japan are setting up an IAL (International Associated Laboratory, LIA in the french CNRS terminology) to support and structure this rich activity. This IAL entitled "ILC-LHC and Particle Physics) as those created by CNRS in Japan (and other countries) is based on a network of French and Japanese laboratories.

The French host laboratories are already strongly involved in joint projects with Japan. They will welcome and support Japanese physicists working at CERN in particular for LHC or at other French facilities. They will contribute, on their own budget, to the running of the IAL. Phd student and post-docs will be exchanged between the partners countries.

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

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

The access to experimental, R&D and test facilities for Researchers, engineers and technicians will be mitigated by this structure and Franco-Japanese research visibility largely improved.

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

A Collaboration proposal detailed list is being prepared. It is available on the IAL intranet. If you want to see or even contribute to the text, you need to register first at:
