Consultation

Please feel free to contact us if you have any technical issues in promoting synchrotron radiation research and development. Free consultation is always available.

Non-proprietary Research and others

After consultation, if you are willing to publish the results using the equipment registered with ARIM, your proposal will be supported by the ARIM project. After the experiment, you will be asked to answer a questionnaire. If you wish to conduct research and development whose results are not disclosed, or for purposes other than research and development, your proposal will be supported by JAEA’s independent project (Shared-Use Program of JAEA Facilities).

Call for Research Proposals

To use the equipment registered with ARIM, research proposals must be submitted. Regular call for proposals will be made around May for the second half of the current fiscal year (B term), and around November for the first half of the next fiscal year (A term). Urgent proposals are accepted at any time. Before proposal submission, please discuss your research proposal with the beamline scientists. Contact information of the beamline scientists will be provided by the JAEA Administration Office. Research proposals based on competitive funding will be given priority for beamtime allocation. Non-proprietary research proposals will be reviewed by the JAEA-QST joint proposal review committee, and determined the acceptance of proposals and allocations of beamtime.
