Interdisciplinary Science Conference in Okinawa
(ISCO 2023)—Physics and Mathematics meet Medical
Science—
| Date: | February 23–March 3, 2023 |

| Description: |
The scientific method of studying the natural world has
persisted over the centuries. The key to its longevity and
progression lies in sharing and building upon accumulated
knowledge. Physics, which explores the origin of the universe
and matter; biology, which studies living organisms, and
their functions and evolution; and medicine, which explores
health based on the structure and function of living
organisms: all have made enormous advancements that impact
all aspects of our lives. As the scientific study progresses, however, additional challenges have arisen which are increasingly difficult to solve. Many of the challenges that humanity faces are in achieving sustainable development. These include environmental changes due to climate change, food crises caused by the gap between population growth and food production, and pandemics caused by the spreading of resistant bacteria and viruses. To rise to these new challenges, it is important to reassess the issues from a broader perspective: to combine the knowledge and methods of different scientific fields and to look for new approaches that can bridge the boundaries and work across multiple fields The purpose of ISCO 2023 is to bring together leading researchers in their respective fields, explore methods for solving issues through the fusion of different fields, and form a new network of researchers. The workshop will bring together speakers from Japan and abroad in the fields of space science, particle and nuclear physics, quantum computing, life sciences, and medicine to discuss the challenges they face and the latest advancements in their respective fields. We call for presentations from fields related to those subjects mentioned above and on the sustainable development of humankind. In addition, we plan to hold a poster session to facilitate a wide range of discussions. We hope that the knowledge gained at this workshop will lead to the creation of new research fields that will not only advance basic science but will also help solve the various new challenges that humanity faces.

Mini-Workshop on Atomic and Nuclear Physics Experiments using
High-Precision Hard X-ray and γ-ray Polarimeters
| Date: | August 19, 2021 | |||||
| Venue: | Online Meeting | |||||
| Description: |
The Soft Gamma-ray Detector (SGD) onboard the X-ray Astronomy
Satellite Hitomi (ASTRO-H) is a Si/CdTe detector that enables
high-precision Compton imaging.
Under the
program of the Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Area
“Toward new frontiers : Encounter and synergy of
state-of-the-art astronomical detectors and exotic quantum
beams,”
the SGD was modified for ground-based atomic physics
experiments and applied to the Tokyo-EBIT, a multi-charged
ion source at the University of Electro-Communications, to
successfully measure the polarization of hard X-rays with
unprecedented accuracy.
https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0050826
In the experiment using Tokyo-EBIT, the polarizability of the
recombination X-rays of highly charged heavy ions is
measured with high precision, and the electromagnetic behavior
of virtual photons causing the Breit interactions was observed
for the first time. In this research, the group is trying to
examine quantum electrodynamics from a new angle. In order to further develop the experiments using this state-of-the-art polarimeter and to discuss its application to atomic and nuclear physics experiments, we will hold a kick-off mini workshop. We look forward to your participation. |

| Description: |
The school is organized by IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society
and University of Malaya and will be held at University of Malaya in
Kuala Lumpur November 10th–15th. Its intention is to give practical
experience with developing and controlling mid-range real time
experiments. Hands-on experience is very important. The school
provides lectures and laboratory exercises, given by experts in
radiation measurements with state-of-the-art experience. The lectures
introduce firmware, software and web based programming (for remote
control), and show how this can be used in different areas of
science. In order to minimize the hardware cost Raspberry Pis are
used as controllers. This should be an advantage when the students
later develop their own systems. The Raspberry Pi operating system is
similar to Linux which means that it supports many of the standard
Data Acquisition software tools. The goal of the school is To train students in the area of radiation detectors and its applications. To enhance the development of real-time system in South East Asia To promote the participation of young scientists in radiation measurements and related fields (Taken from the above web site) |

| Description: | The goal of this meeting is to rethink our
knowledge of high-energy astrophysics in view of continuing
advances in instrumentation. Our view of the universe evolves
in response to new observations made possible by improving
instruments, and the experimental progress stimulates theories
for deeper and more precise understanding. The program will
comprise talks and discussions of physics in extreme
environments and the role of these physical processes in cosmic
evolution. We hope the workshop will provide the participants
with a stimulating environment and an opportunity to discuss
new ways for advancing our understanding of the energetic
universe. (Taken from the above web site) |

| Description: | In this research project, we will link the state-of-the-art detector technology for space X-ray, gamma-ray observation and three “exotic” quantum beams: negative muon, high energy photon and polarized RI beams for which Japan leads research fields. We will extend research in basic physics as well as explore new developments for applied research. Newly started publicly opened research projects will work together with the planned research groups. We believe that research that crosses the field or research of a different field application using outputs of our programs will produce unexpected “meeting” and synergistic effects. We will organize this workshop to share information between almost independent research groups and to drive future cooperative research smoothly. |
