[Academic Award]

2002

JPS Award

Ken'ichi Imai has worked on experimental nuclear and hadronic physics by using various accelerators, from low energy to high energy, such as Tandem Van de Graaff at Kyoto, RCNP cyclotron at Osaka, LAMPF, KEK-PS, Spring-8, BNL-AGS, FNAL, BNL-RHIC.
Examples of his research subjects are a polarized ion source, nucleon-nucleon scattering, hypernuclei, exotic hadrons such as H-dibaryon and pentaquark, spin structure of nucleon, etc. Some of interesting results are discovery of double hypernuclei, measurements of hyperfine interaction of hypernuclei and spin effects in high energy proton reactions. He has also worked for accelerator projects such as Spring-8 Laser Compton γ-beam, RHIC-Spin Collider Project and J-PARC.
He won 2002 JPS Award for Best Paper.
