Chiba University Researchers' Articles Selected for the PRL Collection of the Year 2024!

Physical Review Letters (PRL), a leading scientific journal published by the American Physical Society (APS), is widely regarded as one of the most authoritative journals in the field of physics.

Each year, the journal publishes 2,000 to 2,500 articles on significant fundamental research. Of these, approximately 400 are highlighted as "PRL Editors' Suggestions," and a smaller, exceptional subset is further recognized as the Collection of the Year.

In their recently announced PRL Collection of the Year 2024, 59 articles were selected, including two articles from two international collaborative research teams­--the FASER Collaboration and the IceCube Collaboration--that feature the contributions of researchers and students from Chiba University.
Congratulations to all involved on this remarkable achievement!
