素粒子を見る - 高エネルギー物理学への招待

Explore high-energy physics and particle detection in this Japanese lecture from Kyoto University's Faculty of Science pre-lecture series "Invitation to Science." Professor Tsuyoshi Nakaya guides new students through the fascinating world of particle physics, starting with fundamental concepts of observing microscopic particles before delving into familiar particles in everyday life. Progress through the historical discovery of the first elementary particles, learn about mysterious "ghost particles," and understand the significance of the "God particle." Conclude with an examination of particle detection technologies and future prospects in the field. The lecture features distinct chapters covering introduction, particle observation methods, common particles, pioneering particle discoveries, neutrinos, the Higgs boson, and advancing detection techniques.
