J-PARC, a research institute located in Japan, operates one of the most intense proton accelerators in the world. J-PARC hosts T2K, one of the world’s leading experiments for neutrino research. Neutrinos are a key focus of research that could challenge the Standard Model of physics. A recent upgrade of the T2K experiment, aimed at increasing efficiency and improving facility management, resulted from a collaboration between J-PARC and researchers from HEPIA (inTECH) and the University of Geneva in Switzerland.

In September 2024, the new control system was delivered and installed at the detection facility in Japan, in the presence of the entire on-site research team. The planned changes were implemented and tested in collaboration with Siemens.
