JAEA owns two contract beamlines (BL22XU, BL23SU) at SPring-8, the world's largest third-generation synchrotron radiation facility, located in Harima Science Park City, Hyogo Prefecture.
These beamlines have been used by external researchers as shared facilities. By becoming the implementing agency for the Advanced Research Infrastructure for Materials and Nanotechnology in Japan (ARIM), we will further enhance support for external users.
BL22XU：JAEA Actinide ScienceⅠBeamline

|---|---|
| Nearest Entrance | Storage Ring building entrance B4 or RI Laboratory building main entrance |
| SR Source | In-vacuum undulator |
| SR Energy | 5-70 keV |
| Monochromator |
・ Cryogenically Cooled Calculation and Combination Type Double Crystal Monochromator with Si(111) ・ Cryogenically Cooled Single Cam Type Double Crystal Monochromator with Si(111) and (311) Crystals Switching System* * The monochromator crystals of the single cam-type double-crystal Monochromator can be switched at any time. |
| Characteristics | High-intensity synchrotron radiation with a wide energy range from approximately 5 keV to 70 keV is available. Using the (311) plane enables high-energy-resolution measurements. It is equipped with X-ray mirrors and beryllium refractive lens focusing optics. In addition, the experimental hutch is located at an optical distance of 120m from the source point which enables speckle and imaging measurements. Furthermore, BL22XU is a beamline led to the RI Experimental Building, and RI and actinides can be used after completing the necessary procedures. |
| Research Fields | Surface X-ray diffraction, PDF analysis, stress distribution analysis, XAFS structural analysis, etc. |

BL23SU：JAEA Actinide ScienceⅡBeamline
| Scientist in Charge |
Dr. Shin-ichi Fujimori, JAEA Principal Scientist Second - in-charge: Dr. Akitaka Yoshigoe, JAEA Principal Scientist |
|---|---|
| Nearest Entrance |
Storage Ring building entrance C1 or RI Laboratory building main entrance |
| SR Source | In-vacuum twin-helical undulator |
| SR Energy | 0.37-2 keV |
| Monochromator | Varied-line-spacing plane-grating monochromator |
| Characteristics | This soft X-ray beamline has the world's highest level of energy resolution in this energy region, and can perform precise analysis of electronic and magnetic structures. The downstream part of the beamline is installed in the RI building, and uranium compounds and other interesting strongly correlated substances can be used as samples. The energy resolution at the sample position is E/ΔE > 10000. |
