France Japan Particle Physics Network (FJPPN) - TYL Network

The France Japan Particle Physics Network (TYL-FJPPN) was created as Laboratoire International Associé (LIA) FJPPL in 2006 to promote collaboration between French and Japanese teams of researchers working in subatomic physics and related areas. The main themes and the laboratories presently involved are listed below. The activities of French and Japanese researchers within these themes are strongly reinforced by pursuing them jointly in the context of the TYL-FJPPN. For this purpose, this framework provides an efficient tool which encourages and facilitates valuable exchanges of personnel, as well as joint training initiatives for junior staff and students. It is also a convenient setting for initiating, promoting and developing new projects and ideas in our community. On a yearly basis, collaborative projects can apply for support and a general workshop is organised for presentation and review of the research topics. In addition, all collaborating teams organise their own dedicated exchanges and meetings.

In 2009, the LIA FJPPL was renamed LIA TYL-FJPPL, to honour the memory of Toshiko Yuasa, the first Japanese woman physicist and a pioneer in the Franco-Japanese cooperation, in a special ceremony in Tsukuba (Ibaraki).

In 2025, 35 joint French-Japanese collaborative projects are on-going within the TYL-FJPPN.

The themes are :

French CNRS/IN2P3 laboratories

French CEA/IRFU laboratories

French associated universities (TBC)

Japanese laboratory and associated universities (TBC)
