Our research group had been established with the beginning of the international collaboration with the KEK Center in Japan, as the University of Tabuk is member of the Belle experiment, at KEK center, in Japan, since 2011. The Belle experiment (1999-2010) at KEK Center, Japan, is an experiment that helped to explain the lack of anti-matter in the universe. The Belle experiment, that took data on the KEKB accelerator, was cited, in the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physics press conference report, as a major contributor to award three Japanese physicists this Nobel prize. The KEKB accelerator had been upgraded to the SuperKEKB accelerator with 40-times more Luminosity that required, also, the upgrade of the Belle experiment to the Belle II experiment. Our first years, since 2011, were dedicated to the Belle II experiment where we designed, commissioned, and installed two sub-detectors within the Belle II experiment. We published Belle and Belle II experiments results in about 180 papers, since 2011, in high rated journals with impact Factors up to 9. With the emergence of the Saudi 2030 vision we opened many others research areas with applications in medical physics, agriculture, and renewable energy. In the medical physics sector, we are collaborating with the King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Center (KFSHRC) at Riyadh mainly in the X-ray dosimetry within the KFSHRC Secondary Standards Dosimetry Laboratory (SSDL). One of our accomplishments is we installed a motorized system, tested at our Lab at Tabuk, to accelerate calibrating hospitals dosimeters. 

We won many institutional and strategic grants at the university of Tabuk level:

We were funded to design and build a prototype to measure soil humidity using cosmic neutrons.

We were as well funded to build a prototype to produce hydrogen powered by solar panels
