Lab tour (limited to 100 persons)
We invite you to Lab tour at RIKEN Wako campus. The tour will be held on Friday September 26, 2025, from 1:40 PM. In the tour, we will visit two facilities: (1) Linear Accelerator (SRILAC) (2) Cyclotron (SRC) and Fragment Separators (BigRIPS).
(1) SRILAC
In 2020, SRILAC (Superconducting RIken Linear ACcelerator) achieved beam acceleration for the first time and has since entered the stage of long-term operation, resolving various issues of different sizes. The SRILAC consists of 3 cryomodules based on 10 quarter wave resonators (QWRs) made from bulk niobium sheets and round rods. The superconducting QWR operated at 4.5 K, which was designed for acceleration of low-beta ions, operates at a frequency of 73.0 MHz in continuous wave mode. In the tour, we show SRILAC.
(2) SRC and BigRIPS at RIBF
The Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF) is a facility generating unstable nuclei of all elements up to uranium and studying their properties. The Superconducting Ring Cyclotron (SRC) is the largest and most powerful superconducting ring cyclotron in the world (weighing 8,300 tons). The accelerated high intensity ion beams are injected to Fragment Separator called BigRIPS to generate a radioisotope beam for all elements up to uranium with the world-highest intensity. In the tour, we show the SRC and BigRIPS.
