| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
International collaboration among world underground laboratories has been developed aiming at the large synergies of sharing the common technologies. Concerning the search for dark matter in which international unification is occurring, Japanese team decided to join the foreign project bringing the technologies developed in this innovative area. Concerning the directional measurement of dark matter, Kamioka underground laboratory serves as a world-wide hub of its developmental efforts. As for the future innovative technology of scintillating bolometers, scintillation crystal technology in our area and bolometer technology in Korea can be combined and cooperative development has been started. These cooperative work on the basis of common technologies will secure the continuous leadership in the field of underground particle and nuclear research.
