Accelerator Group

The accelerator group pursues various upgrade programs of the new-generation heavy-ion accelerator facility, RI-Beam Factory (RIBF), to improve the accelerator performance and operation efficiency. We are also actively promoting the applications of the accelerator facility to a variety of research fields.

Research Subjects

• Intensity upgrade of RIBF accelerators
• Effective and stable operation of RIBF accelerators
• Energy-efficiency management of RIBF
• R&D of advanced accelerators and investigations of future projects
