Overview
The World of Nanotechnology opened by Synchrotron Radiation, Neutrons, Muons, and Slow positrons
In this program, students can attend lectures and receive research guidance on cutting-edge materials science and life science, which employ the four quantum beams obtained from accelerators: synchrotron radiation, neutrons, muons, and slow positrons. In addition to research on a wide range of fields such as physics, chemistry, life sciences, applications in medical science, environmental sciences, and geophysics, students can also contribute to the development of new frontiers in materials science through the advancement of technologies for generating and using quantum beams. In a rich environment with access to multiple quantum beams, we will train researchers to develop broader perspective and expertise, and can play an active role on the international stage.
