Fundamental Physics in Microgravity

Abstract

Microgravity environment provides a new experimental frontier for fundamental physics research. It is very useful not only for exploration of fundamental physics laws but also for educational program in physics study. Preservation of symmetry is one of the most effective merits of microgravity utilization in fundamental physics. The first edition of ``Microgravity Physics Research Scenario'' will be established on the basis of discussions in the Working Group on Microgravity Physics. It is expected that this scenario arouses interest of Japanese researchers and promotes space utilization in the discipline of fundamental physics.
