Outline of Final Research Achievements

There exists new physics beyond the standard model of particle physics. We explored new physics models such as the supersymmetric model. In particular, we developed fundamental frameworks of particle physics by studying quantum effects on vacuum structures and flavor/CP transitions. Also, we showed that the supersymmetric model is still one of the best candidates of new physics. The model could provide a clue to solving mysteries of particle cosmology. Moreover, we investigated other new physics models apart from the supersymmetric ones and discussed how to test them in future experiments.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

これまでに素粒子標準理論では説明することのできない素粒子事象が報告されている。本研究では、超対称性模型や他の理論模型がこれらの問題を解く有力な手がかりになることを示した。それにより、次世代の素粒子理論への理解が進むとともに、さらに、宇宙の暗黒物質の正体など、宇宙進化の謎を解く手がかりを与える。
