Rate My Professor Masaya Ishino

Professor Ishino's research specialization is experimental elementary particle physics, particularly utilizing energy frontier accelerators like the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). As a prominent member of the ATLAS collaboration, he has contributed significantly to the 2012 observation of the Higgs boson and ongoing searches for new particles, supersymmetry signatures, dark matter, and heavy resonances. His work encompasses development and large-scale operation of advanced experimental technologies, such as muon triggers and detectors for the High-Luminosity LHC. Under his directorship, ICEPP advances quantum computing and quantum sensor applications in particle physics. Key publications include “Measurement of Higgs boson production in the diphoton decay channel in pp collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector” (2014), “Search for neutral Higgs bosons of the minimal supersymmetric standard model in pp collisions at √s=8 TeV with the ATLAS detector” (2014), “Search for Higgs bosons decaying into new spin-0 or spin-1 particles in four-lepton final states with the ATLAS detector with 139 fb⁻¹ of pp collision data at √s = 13 TeV” (2022), and “Search for pair production of scalar leptoquarks decaying into first- or second-generation leptons and top quarks in proton-proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector” (2021). He leads JSPS grants like “Unified Understanding of Forces: Expansion to the Next Generation of Energy Frontiers and International Human Resource Development” (2024–2031).
