Research Areas

We aim at the investigation of internal nuclear structure of short-lived radioactive nuclei (RI) by means of electron scattering. Electron scattering for RI's has never been performed duo to inability to make target of these nuclei. An electron-RI collider system, which requires a huge accelerator complex, has so far been unique solution to overcome the difficulty. We have developed a novel internal target system named SCRIT (Self-Confining RI Ion Target) in an electron storage ring to make the experiment easier with much compact experimental system. We have finished the commissioning of the electron accelerator system, which has constructed in last year, and a SCRIT devices have been installed into the straight section of the storage ring (SR2). The test experiment using stable isotopes is planed in the beginning of next year. In this electron scattering facility, we will construct the U photo-fission ion source for RI production and an ISOL system for RI injection into the SCRIT device. They are now manufacturing.
