Tohoku University

The Research Center for Electron-Photon Science (ELPH) is a research institute affiliated with Tohoku University. Equipped with an electron linear accelerator and an electron booster-synchrotron accelerator, ELPH has a capacity of generating up to 1.3- GeV electron or photon beams and provides them for use in scientific experiments by researchers through the national "Joint Usage" scheme. In addition to promoting research in the structure and nature of materials in a wide range of fields, from quarks and hadrons which are found in atomic nuclei to materials science. ELPH pursues leading-edge research in accelerator science and beam physics to help make it possible to conduct beam-based experiments that are even more advanced.
