Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) is aimed at promoting materials science and life science using the world highest intensity pulsed neutron and muon beams which are produced using 3-GeV protons with a current of 333micro-amps and a repetition rate of 25 Hz.
The inspection and restoration of the damages of building, beam transport tunnel, components and instruments have advanced since they suffered damages by The Great East Japan Earthquake which occurred on March 11, 2011, resulting that the beam operation resumed on December 22, 2011.
The MLF user program in 2011 began on January 24, 2012.
