"Promotion and Creation of New Interdisciplinary Fields" Research Team
Team Head
Tadashi KAMBARA (D.Sci.)
Research groups from different fields like physics, chemistry, materials science and biology, taking advantage of world-class heavy-ion accelerator, collaborate to produce new research field in materials, life and environmental sciences. Ion beams from RIBF accelerators have high intensity and vast variety and enable us the production of various radioisotopes and RI beams. They also have high penetration in matters and unique radiation effects, and applications are expected in materials and life sciences. We apply the ion beams to establish accelerator-based biology, develop materials and life sciences with RI's as probes and super-heavy element chemistry.
