The KEK Laboratory (Tsukuba, Japan) and INFN have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to facilitate and support scientific cooperation in the fields of Nuclear Physics of High Energies and development of advanced technologies for particle accelerators.
The agreement signs a significant strengthening of scientific collaboration between INFN and Japan. In the Tuskuba campus of KEK is now under onstruction the Belle-II experiment that will take data at SuperKEKB, an innovative accelerator to search for new physics, while in the Tokai campus is already operative the T2K experiment to study neutrinos.
