Japan and Europe Network for Neutrino and Intensity Frontier Experimental Research 3

Project description

Research on neutrinos between Japan and Europe

The collaboration between Europe and Japan on advanced synergistic research on neutrinos began in 2015 with the JENNIFER project and continues with the JENNIFER2 MSCA-RISE project. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the JENNIFER3 project in Japan aims to observe rare processes through three research programs: accelerator-produced neutrinos, cosmic neutrino detection, and a high-luminosity electron-positron collider. It promotes collaboration between European and Japanese scientists and involves key technologies such as cloud computing, machine learning, and photon detection. The project aims to disseminate its findings to the scientific community and European society, enhancing its impact by fostering collaboration and cross-fertilisation between different research communities.

Objective

JENNIFER3 aims to continue, further develop and finalize the research and communication activities started in 2015 within the JENNIFER project and currently being carried on by the JENNIFER2 MSCA-RISE project, which will conclude in may 2025. The community forming the JENNIFER3 consortium is putting together three research programs at experimental facilities located in Japan where very rare processes can be observed: accelerator produced neutrinos (T2K and HyperK collaborations), cosmic neutrinos detection (HyperK collaboration) and a high luminosity electron-positron collider (Belle II experiment at SUPERKEKB). Such programs use different approaches, are sensitive to different “messengers” of the new physics world and are essential to complement the so called “energy frontier” investigation which is carried on at the LHC.
Sinergy and knowledge sharing among them is the drive force of the JENNIFER3 project, which on one hand fosters the collaboration of European scientists with the Japanese research community, while on the other hand promotes close collaboration among different European research groups around key technologies, such as cloud computing and data network developments, machine learning applications for data filtering and reconstruction, photon detection, solid state detectors, particle beam monitors. Collaboration with private sector technology providers is also essential to reach the scientific objectives of the project. All project members are also committed to disseminate and communicate their work to the scientific community and to the European society through various initiatives aiming to different targets.
Cross fertilization between different research communities and approaches is the real added value to boost the project impact, both in terms of scientific results and of researchers’ careers.
