今回、東京大学国際高等研究所カブリ数物連携宇宙研究機構(Kavli IPMU)からのご依頼で宇宙背景放射観測のための真空チャンバーを納入させていただきました。今後、ダークマターやビッグバンの謎の究明を含む様々な研究への活用に向け、南米チリの標高5200メートルという位置にあるサイモンズ天文台に設置される予定です。
当社設立50周年となる節目の年に、とても名誉のあるプロジェクトに携わらせていただき、光栄な思いでいっぱいです。当社は真空チャンバーだけの製造ですので、ここから内容物の組立等大変な工程がまだまだ続きますが、東京大学さん、京都大学さん、当社の職人や協力工場のみなさん、人と人との信頼があってはじめて完成できたと強く実感しています。ありがとうございました。
We were given the opportunity to deliver a vacuum chamber for observing cosmic microwave background radiation at the request of the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU), the University of Tokyo Institutes for Advanced Study (UTIAS). In the future, the chamber will be installed at Simons Observatory, located at an altitude of 5,200 meters in Chile, South America, for use in various research projects, including the investigation of the mysteries of dark matter and the Big Bang.
We are honored to have been involved in such a prestigious project in the milestone year of our company's 50th anniversary. Since we only manufacture vacuum chambers, there are still many difficult steps to be taken, such as assembling the contents, but we strongly feel that it was only possible to complete this project thanks to the trust between people at the University of Tokyo, Kyoto University, our craftsmen, and our partner factories. Thank you very much.
