高エネルギー加速器研究機構(KEK)は、最先端の粒子加速器を用いて、宇宙の起源、物質や生命の根源を探求する研究所です。研究者の自由な発想による「真理の追究」を目指して、研究開発を推進しています。KEKは大学共同利用機関のひとつとして、個別の大学では整備や維持が困難な最先端の大型装置や設備、施設を、国内はもとより海外の学術コミュニティに提供しています。
KEK, the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization, is one of the world's leading accelerator science research laboratories, using high-energy particle beams and synchrotron light sources to probe the fundamental properties of matter. With state-of-the-art infrastructure, KEK is advancing the understanding of the universe that surrounds us. KEK serves as a center of excellence for domestic and foreign researchers, providing a wide variety of research opportunities. In addition to the activities at the Tsukuba Campus, KEK is now jointly operating a high-intensity proton accelerator facility (J-PARC) in Tokai village, together with the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). More than 600 scientists, engineers, students and staff perform research activities on the Tsukuba and Tokai campuses.
