Hotel Information:

There are three hotels near Wako-station as listed below:

It is encouraged to have reservation as soon as possible. From Wako-shi station It takes 15 minutes to get to RIKEN Nishina Center by walk. You can find many hotels at Ikebukuro area through the web sites for hotel booking such as Expedia and Hotels.com. From Ikebukuro station to Wako-shi station it takes 12 minutes by Tobu-Tojo line or Metro Fukutoshin line as shown in the Map. If you have any problems in finding your hotels please contact with the LOC.

Lab tour:

We invite you to Lab tour at RIKEN Wako campus. In the tour, we will visit two facilities: (1) Cyclotron (SRC) and Fragment Separators (BigRIPS) (2) Compact Neutron Source, RANS and RANSII. In the tour, we ask you to divide several groups, but all groups will visit both facilities. Your group is marked on your name card.
(1) SRC and BigRIPS at RIBF
  The Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF) is a facility generating unstable nuclei of allelements up to uranium and studying their properties. The RIBF is characterized by the fact that it is a multistage accelerator complex, which is generally not seen elsewhere in the world. The final-stage accelerator, the Superconducting Ring Cyclotron (SRC), is the first of a kind and is the largest (weighing 8,300 tons) and most powerful in the world. The accelerated high intensity heavy ion beams (~10kW) are injected to Fragment Separator called BigRIPS to generate an RI beam for all elements up to uranium with the world-highest intensity. These beams are provided to several experimental systems such as SHARAQ, SAMURAI, ZeroDegree to study nuclear physics and reveal the evolution of the universe. In the tour, we show the SRC and BigRIPS.

(2) RANS / RANSII
　RIKEN is promoting the maintenance and advanced development of compact neutron source measurement systems with the aim of using “neutrons anytime, anywhere.” As of 2023, two RIKEN accelerator-driven compact neutron systems (RANS), RANS and RANS-II, are in constant operation, and RANS-III is currently under development at RIKEN Wako. In these systems, high power proton beams (~ a few pμA) are injected to Beryllium and lithium target to generate neutrons. In the tour, we show RANS / RANSII.

You will have the chance to visit our experiment facility and research environment etc.
