This article provides a review of the National Laboratory for High Energy Physics (NLHEP), describing the facilities and the research under way in high energy physics (hep). The repercussions of hep research are also discussed. NLHEP was established in 1971 for the purpose of performing experimental research on elementary particles and related phenomena. The first accelerator that was built had a capacity of 12 Gev. The second accelerator was built with a capacity of 2.5 Gev and was designed specifically for light-emission experiments, and the third and the latest accelerator, known as TRISTAN, is an electron-positron Super Collider. There are four collision points, where Japanese universities and international research groups are working. By observing energy, mass and the trace of elementary particles, researchers can obtain information about these particles and their interactions. The influence of hep research has diffused into the scientific community in a number of ways. In academic fields, hep research and its results have diversified into areas such as nuclear power and nuclear magnetism. The utilization of accelerators has also expanded into other academic fields such as crystallography, and hep has advanced related technologies by helping to develop new materials, new process technologies, etc.
