SPEAKER: The universe
has many mysteries.
One of the greatest is the generation
of high-energy cosmic rays.
Understanding about their
origin will help resolve
some of the mysteries of the universe--
supernova, dark matter, or even
the evolution of the universe.
Professor Torii from the faculty
of Science and Engineering
at Waseda University, along
with his international team,
developed the Calorimetric Electron
Telescope, CALET, now on board
the International Space Station, to
observe these high-energy cosmic rays.
SHOJI TORII: Cosmic rays
are very special, because--
not easy to understand
what its origins, you know?
We developed some very special detector.
We can measure the energies inside.
Through this research, we
are closing in on the mystery
of dark matter and cosmic ray origin.
It's very challenging to find
the signature of dark matter.
But we are very confident
to observe cosmic resources.
Join me for this course
on high-energy cosmic rays
and help to unravel the greatest
mysteries of the universe.
