Overview of Research Group, Goals and Purposes:
The use of synchrotron radiation X-rays, mainly at SPring-8, has been greatly advanced in both academic and industrial fields, and remarkable results have been produced. On the other hand, the use of neutrons is also making progress not only in academia but also in industry, thanks to the stable operation and increased beam intensity of the J-PARC MLF. Although synchrotron radiation X-rays and neutrons have different beam characteristics, they complement each other as probes. However, the publications based on the complementary use between SPring-8 and J-PARC MLF is limited to about 150 papers which can be confirmed so far. In this research group, we aim to maximize the results at SPring-8 through complementary use by understanding and sharing the advantages of cooperative use among SPring-8 users. Specific activities include (1) learning the features of both probes, sharing the past examples of collaborative use, and educating the public about collaborative use by actively commnucating good examples, (2) discussing the possibility of new collaborative use, including the use of advanced measurement methods, and aiming to create research themes and results, (3) Proposing to the facility side the reforms of the proposal type, proposal application system, etc. to promote smooth collaborative uses of synchrotron radiation and neutron facilities.
