About the Public Beamlines
The Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) at J-PARC has capacity to accommodate up to 23 neutron beamlines. Of these, seven beamlines that have been constructed by JAEA are available to Japanese and international researchers under the public user program that is administered by CROSS-Tokai as of the start of FY 2011. These seven “Public Beamlines” are summarized below.
| BL No. | Beamline Name | Applications |
|---|---|---|
| BL01 | 4D-Space Access Neutron Spectrometer (4SEASONS) |
Measurement of lattice and spin dynamics in condensed matter over a wide range of 4D momemtum-energy space |
| BL02 | Biomolecular Dynamics Spectrometer (DNA) | Measurement of atomic and spin dynamics (magnetic materials) in biological macromolecules soft matter and functional biomaterials |
| BL11 | High-Pressure Neutron Diffractometer (PLANET) | Structural analysis and radiography of liquids and crystalline materials under extreme pressure and temperature conditions |
| BL15 | Small and Wide Angle Neutron Scattering Instrument (TAIKAN) | Structural analysis on the nano and micro scale of metals, magnetic materials, soft matter, proteins and their complexes. |
| BL17 | Polarized Neutron Reflectometer (SHARAKU) | Structural analysis of functional thin film materials, biological thin films and buried interfaces |
| BL18 | Extreme Environment Single Crystal Neutron Diffractometer (SENJU) | Microcrystal and magnetic structure analysis of functional materials |
| BL22 | Energy-Resolved Neutron Imaging System (RADEN) | Visualization of the spatial distribution of crystal structures, nuclides and magnetic domains by neutron transmission imaging and 3D reconstruction |
