- Highlights of 2025
Professor Akira Yamamoto was awarded by the IEEE in USA by his great contribution to the field of applied superconductivity. He was recognized as a winner of the IEEE Award for Continuing and Significant Contributions in the Field of Applied Superconductivity at the 2008 Applied Superconductivity Conference held at Chicago, USA, August 18, 2008. He has made a large contribution as a leader of advancing application of superconducting magnet technology in the field of high energy accelerator, particle physics and astro-particle physics, as well as promoting many international cooperation projects. In the early stage of application of superconducting technology in Japan, he played a central role in the construction of the superconducting beam-line, superconducting solenoid magnets for the TOPAZ and other experiments. He also led the BESS experiment to detect antiprotons from space using a superconducting magnet and detectors equipped with a balloon. Furthermore he has developed advanced particle detectors by making the magnet as thin as possible. This idea and its technology were later used in the superconducting solenoid of the ATLAS experiment for the LHC project
