Among the many genres of physics, the "International Linear Collider (commonly known as ILC)" is currently attracting attention.By creating a high-energy reaction approaching the early universe, we will explore the creation of the universe and the mysteries of mass, time and space, and we will study the most difficult elementary particles in science and approach the origin of the universe. It's a grand plan to do, but on the other hand, I can't help but feel that it's difficult and unfamiliar.At the council, "Science x Hello Kitty" will be born in collaboration with Sanrio's popular character Hello Kitty in order to familiarize and deepen the understanding of this "difficult and unfamiliar" world. It became.

　To commemorate this birth, physicist Lin Evans (Linear Collider Collaboration Director), nicknamed "The Accelerator Expert, the Man Who Makes the Most Nobel Prize in the World," at the International House of Japan on July 7. Hitoshi Murayama (Deputy Director), Director of the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe, the University of Tokyo, who is also one of the leaders in particle physics, will announce the product together with Hello Kitty.

　Items to be released include clear files, key chains, ballpoint pens, T-shirts, etc.The price range is planned to be 350 to 3000 yen, and it is said that it will be sold in advance from the Tohoku region on the special site of "Science x Hello Kitty" and stores from August 8.

Part of the sales will be donated to the ILC Japan invitation activity.
