| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The mass of elementary particles is thought to be caused by the Higgs particle, which, however, explains only a small part of the mass of matter. Another mass generation mechanism is required to address this problem. Nambu Yoichiro discovered the mechanism of mass generation with the concept of spontaneous broken symmetry in the strong interaction world. Up to date no experiments have proved this theory. We set this ambitious goal to assess the senario, building up a means of experiments to search for unexplored phenomina concerning mass generation. We have opened at SPring-8 a new GeV photon beam line, which provides the world highest laser-electron-photon beam (LEPS2). We have completed an electromagnetic calorimeter, BGOegg, which shows the world best energy-resolution for high energy photons around 1 GeV. Combining these two distinctive equipments together, We have successfully constructed a desirable experimental setup for quark nuclear physics to attain the goal.
