X-ray and positron measurement group
The Advanced Beam measurement group specializes in the production of X-ray, positron and neutron beams and the development of advanced measurement and characherization techniques using these beams. In particular, our technology is used for materials characterization and to contribute to a safe and secure society. We are mainly focussed in developing techniques in the following areas;

1. Development of advanced measurement and characterization techniques using positron and neutron beams. We also promote the use of our developed techniques in the wider community through open access to external users (see below), commercialization of equipment and standardization of measurements.

2. Development of compact X-ray sources using nano-structured carbon field emission cathodes. Using these compact, low-energy consumption X-ray sources we are collaborating with industrial partners to explore new applications for X-ray based analysis etc.

3. Development of radiation dosimeters. In collaboration with external partners we are developing novel radiation dosimeters and promoting thier widespread use.

Slow Positron beam Facility (open to external users, see below)
Neutron beam based analyis facility AISTANS

Open Access Slow Positron Facility

The slow positron facility is open to external users through the ARIM Japan, a Japan-wide open access platfrom organized through the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). If you are interesting making a measurement using the slow positron beam facility then further details can be found on the AIST Nanocharacterization Facility , ANCF homepage or to the following email address
