So that the advanced scientific research can be performed by full use of the light source, we have carried out research and development of optics, detectors, control systems and related technologies. We also lead it to the advanced R&D for the future light source.
To proceed with the photon science and peripheral R&D smoothly, we have improved our facilities, equipment and infrastructures. We are also in charge of the safety of synchrotron radiation experiments.
Introducing good quality synchrotron light to the samples is a key for the experiments with good quality. To realize this we develop the elemental technologies such as optics and vacuum technology, and design and construct beamlines with these technologies.
We are doing various R&D such as experimental apparatus, detectors and data analysis for advanced research using synchrotron radiation.
In the Photon Factory, many scientists in various research backgrounds use the beamline and experimental apparatus. We have developed highly scalable and user-friendly control systems.
For the safety use of synchrotron radiation, we have developed and maintained an interlock system. We are also doing various R&D for the safety use of chemicals, electricity etc.
