Three-body nuclear force (3BNF), the forces where three nucleons (baryons) interact, is a key element in the accurate description of nuclear phenomena. The main topic of this laboratory is the experimental study of the 3BNFs, which includes high-precision experiments on few-nucleon systems, development of nuclear polarization technology, and polarization measurement technology. Our goal is to apply high-precision nuclear forces with the 3BNF to various nuclear phenomena and to accelerate the understanding of nucleosynthesis and neutron star properties, which are of high interest in pure fundamental science, but also to advance the creation of new applied sciences and technologies.

Experimental study is on going using light ions, e.g. polarized deuterons and/or protons, at RIKEN and also at RCNP, Osaka University .
