On February 16, Professor Mark Thomson, the new Director-General of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), visited KEK. Director Thomson took up his post in January. His visit symbolizes the close relationship between the two centers of accelerator science in Europe and Japan. This is the first time in 10 years that a CERN Director General has visited KEK. Hosted by Shoji Asai, KEK Director General, Director Thomson toured the KEK Tsukuba campus, visiting the SuperKEKB accelerator and the International Center for Quantum-field Measurement Systems (QUP). After a lunch meeting with senior officials, Director Thomson gave a lecture in Kobayashi Hall on the current state and outlook for particle physics. Cooperation between KEK and CERN began in earnest in the 1990s when Japan officially joined CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) project. Since then, the two organizations have been conducting joint research and development on projects such as the ATLAS experiment, LHC upgrades, and future accelerator projects.
