Accelerators of J-PARC
At J-PARC, a proton beam is accelerated to a world-class high-energy beam by a series of accelerators, which consists of
- A 400 MeV linear accelerator
- A 3 GeV rapid cycling synchrotron (RCS)
- A 50 GeV (currently 30 GeV) main ring (MR)
The high-energy beam is delivered to three different experimental facilities for conducting cutting-edge research in the fields of materials and life science, and particle and nuclear physics.
