Faculty of Science

The international students can be accepted in the High Energy Physics laboratory of Niigata university
(NGTHEP) under the Global Circus (GC) program. The research subjects of NGTHEP are the following.

 1) Study of particle-antiparticle asymmetry using B mesons which are produced by the interaction of
　　high energy electrons and positrons. (Belle experiment)

 2) Research of neutrino oscillation by the measurement of neutrino flux from the nuclear reactor.
　　(Double Chooz experiment)

 3) R&D of new radiation detectors and those applications.

Among these subjects, foreign students under GC program may join No.3 research subject for his/her doctor
or master thesis.
　In March 1997, the agreement of the academic exchange was concluded between the faculty of science in
Niigata University and the Mindanao State University- Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT).
Since then, NGTHEP accepted five and one graduate students thanks to JASSO and government scholarships,
respectively, for their master or doctor degrees. We wish to accept foreign graduate students especially
doctor students, not only from MSU-IIT but also the member university of the physical society-SPVM
(Samahang Pisika ng Visayas at Mindanao) in Philippines, since we have good relation to SPVM.
