Particle Beam Physics and Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores applications of microscopic particle beams such as neutrons and muons.
AboutAbout the lab
Aiming for advanced applications of microscopic particle beams.
The Particle Beam Physics and Engineering Lab aims for advanced applications of microscopic particle beams such as neutrons and muons.
The lab conducts research at the boundary between elementary particle and nuclear physics and medicine and engineering.
In applications of nuclear physics, it focuses on producing radioisotopes (RI) for medical use and on nuclear transmutation technology for radioactive waste.
In applications of muons, it works on muography, a technique that uses cosmic-ray muons to see through objects, and investigates the physical mechanisms of soft errors in semiconductors.
Key terms
- Radioisotope
- A type of element that emits radiation. In medicine, its uses are expanding to diagnostics such as PET and to cancer treatment.
- Nuclear transmutation
- A technology that converts one atomic nucleus into another. It is considered promising for reducing the toxicity of long-lived fission products and for turning them into usable resources.
- Muography
- A technique for seeing through objects using cosmic-ray muons that arrive from space. It is being developed for inspecting the degradation of infrastructure and other facilities.
- Soft error
- A temporary malfunction caused in semiconductor devices by cosmic-ray muons.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims for advanced applications of particle beams such as neutrons and muons in fields including energy, medicine, and space development. It studies both applications of nuclear physics and applications of muons.
*Illustrative imageMedical RI Production and Nuclear Transmutation Technology
The lab focuses on producing radioisotopes (RI) for medical use and on nuclear transmutation technology for radioactive waste. It develops new production methods for pharmaceuticals and tracers using an accelerator-based neutron source, and also performs measurements and theoretical analysis of the basic nuclear reaction data needed for transmutation.
*Illustrative imageApplications of Muons
To apply muography, a technique that uses cosmic-ray muons to see through objects, to inspecting the degradation of infrastructure and other facilities, the lab develops dedicated high-performance detectors and analysis methods. It is also clarifying the physical mechanisms of soft errors that cosmic-ray muons cause in semiconductor devices and working to improve the accuracy of predicting their occurrence rates.
