Photon Factory

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Photon Factory (PF) is a synchrotron located at KEK, in Tsukuba, Japan, about fifty kilometres from Tokyo.[1]

The Photon Factory turned on its synchrotron for the first time in 1982, becoming the first light source accelerator in Japan to produce x-rays.[1] In 1997, it joined the Institute of Materials Structure Science (IMSS), a Japanese-run international particle physics organization based at KEK.[2]

The current head of the Photon Factory is N. Igarashi.[3]
