What's MLF
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.
Due to the redesign of J-PARC website, the contents in the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility web-site (English page) are under re-construction. At present, only this top page of the MLF web-site is available. We apologize for your inconvenience.

[KEK Press Release]
- Treatment of the proposals for the 2011A term
@
Because J-PARC was heavily affected by the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake, we are unable to inform when the operation of the J-PARC facilities resumes yet.
As far as the proposals applied for the MLF use for the first half of the fiscal year 2011 (2011A) are concerned, the review results will be notified to each principal investigator since the proposal reviews have been already completed.
However, please comply with the situations that the beamtime allocated to the approved proposals is never guaranteed nor the proposals approved for the 2011A term are not carried over to the next term or later at all.

Experimental reports for the 2010B term
@If the principal investigator who conducted your experiments at MLF during the 2010B term can not submit the experimental report until the deadline, i.e. within 60 days after the last day of your beamtime, due to any reason caused by the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake, please contact the J-PARC Center Users Office.
