Content of research

The group of the Department of beam materials science conducts with the L-band electron linac and the ⁶⁰Co g-ray irradiation facility. The aim of our research program is to fully characterize the process by which ionizing radiation alters the chemical structure of functional materials and biological molecules with femto seconds to seconds regions. One of the important missions is design and development of functional materials. We are aiming to realize these missions by the concerted researches of radiation physics/chemistry/biology, polymer science, advanced measurement and accelerator science.
