JAEA-ARIM
Outline of the Advanced Research Infrastructure for Materials and Nanotechnology in Japan (ARIM)
The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (hereafter referred to as JAEA) owns two contract beamlines at SPring-8, a large synchrotron radiation facility, and is developing cutting-edge synchrotron radiation utilization technology.
JAEA has been commissioned by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan (MEXT), the Advanced Research Infrastructure for Materials and Nanotechnology in Japan (ARIM) project. As the implementing agency, we aim to have researchers in industry, government, and academia widely use various devices ranging from structural measurement to electronic state measurement.
We support research in comprehensive analysis of crystal structure, local structure, electronic state, and chemical reaction, etc., using scattering, diffraction and absorption phenomena of synchrotron radiation.

[Note] The Advanced Research Infrastructure for Materials and Nanotechnology in Japan (ARIM) project started from the 2021A term.
JAEA participates in the ARIM project as a spoke organization.
Since the Nanotechnology platform project, commissioned by MEXT, ended in the 2021B term, from the 2022A term onwards, the ARIM project will support non-proprietary proposals for external users.
