User Support Office

To enhance synergetic common use of the world-class accelerator facility, the Radioisotope Beam Factory (RIBF), it is necessary to promote a broad range of applications and to maximize the facility's importance. The facilitation and promotion of the RIBF are important missions charged to the team. Important operational activities of the team include: i) the organization of international Program Advisory Committee (PAC) meetings to review experimental proposals submitted by RIBF users, ii) RIBF beam-time operation management, and iii) promotion of facility use by hosting outside users through the RIBF Independent Users program, which is a new-user registration program begun in FY2010 at the RIKEN Nishina Center (RNC) to enhance the synergetic common use of the RIBF. The team opened the RIBF Users Office in the RIBF building in 2010, which is the main point of contact for Independent Users and provides a wide range of services and information.
