Research Areas

The industrial cooperation team manages industrial applications of the accelerator facility and its related technologies. Until 2010, three private companies used the heavy-ion and RI beams. A development of a wear analysis technique using RI-beam, a heavy-ion irradiation test for semi-conductors of space use was carried out. The team also handles fee-based distribution of radioisotopes of Zn-65, Y-88 and Cd-109 produced at the AVF cyclotron by RI application team under a contract between Japan Radioisotope Association and RIKEN. Total amount of 62MBq of Zn-65 and 41MBq of Cd-109 were shipped in 2011.
