The Institute for Cosmic Ray Research (ICRR ) of the
University of Tokyo (東京大学宇宙線研究所 Tōkyōdaigaku Uchūsen Kenkyūsho ) was established in 1976 for the study of
cosmic rays .
[1]
The
gravitational wave studies group is currently constructing the detector
KAGRA located at the
Kamioka Observatory .

Facilities
Current projects
Super-Kamiokande - Detection of
neutrinos and search for
proton decays in a large water tank
[3]
Tibet - Search for point sources of VHE cosmic gamma rays at Tibet heights
Telescope Array Project - Aiming at highest energy cosmic ray physics by detecting weak light from atmosphere
[4]
