HISTORY
1957	April	Organizing Committee of a radiation-relating laboratory was started and a new laboratory named HOT LAB was established as a facility of Osaka University.
1964	April	Administration of the laboratory renamed Radiation Laboratory was shifted to ISIR according to the revision of Regulations for national university.
1965	April	Administration for β-tron was shifted to this laboratory from faculty of science
1968	March	All the facilities in Radiation Laboratory were moved from Sakai campus to Suita campus .
1975	April	Construction of the L-band electron linac was decided
1978	January	Construction of the L-band electron linac was completed and started operation
1983	December	Joint-use of the L-band electron linac was started
1989	December	150 MeV S-band Linac was constructed and started operation.
1999	December	Future plan of the Radiation Laboratory was drawn up
2002	March	The Radiation Laboratory was closed and a new organization having same name was established in Nano Science and Nano Technology center of ISIR.
2009	April	The Research Laboratory for Quantum Beam Science has established.

FACILITIES
L-band Electron Linac The L-band electron linac was constructed in 1978 for generating intense electron beam singly bunched in picosecond width. After the improvement of sub-harmonic pre-buncher (SHPB) system and the gun cathode, the charge of electrons in the single bunch beam was increased up to 91 nC. The high-brightness electron beam has been mainly used for researches on the transient phenomena in the range from nanoseconds to sub-picoseconds by means of pulse radiolysis, and developing a far-infrared free electron laser (FEL) as well as basic research on Self-Amplified Spontaneous Emission (SASE) in the far-infrared region. The linac was renewed in 2003 for the purpose of realizing high stability and reproducibility as well as easy operation. The linac is composed of a thermionic electron gun, three SHPBs, a pre-buncher(PB), a buncher (B) and 3m long accelerating tube, and is operated with four modes; transient, steady, single-bunch and multi bunch modes. Electrons injected from the gun and passing through the SHPB system are bunched to 20-30 ps with PB and B and accelerated up to 40 MeV through the acceleration tube driven with a klystron with the peak power of 30 MW at the RF frequency of 1.3 GHz.


S-band Laser Photocathode RF Electron Linac The laser-photocathode RF electron linear accelerator is a new low-emittance and ultra short-bunch electron accelerator which is constructed with a 1.5-cell S-band laser photocathode RF electron gun, TW linear accelerator and a magnetic pulse compressor. The picoseconds electron beam is generated in the RF gun driven by an all solid-state Nd:YLF picoseconds laser. A copper cathode is used to generate a low-emittance electron beam. The electron beam generated from the RF gun is accelerated by the linac downstream of the RF gun with energy modulation, and compressed into femtosecond by rotating the longitudinal bunch phase space in magnetic field. The linac was constructed in 2003. A 98-femtosecond single bunch electron beam was generated successfully in 2004. The normalized emittance was 3.8 mm-mrad.
150 MeV S-band Electron Linac The 150 MeV S-band linac was developed in 1990. This linac consisting of two acceleration tubes and a thermionic gun, can accelerate electron bunch up to 100 MeV with the current of 0.25 A in a representative operation. The bunch length is two microseconds and its repetition is less than 30 Hz. This linac has been dominantly used to produce positron beam.
Co⁶⁰ γ-ray irradiation facility The Co⁶⁰ γ-ray irradiation facility has been equipped 3 types of Co⁶⁰ γ-ray sources. Their activity ranging from 265.7 TBq to 6.281 TBq at April 1st in 2013. Two irradiation caves are available for the use of scientific researches. To date, this facility is used for study in the special fields, such as irradiation effects on materials and tissues,radiation induced polymerization, radiation damages on materials, radiation hazard on biological system and so on.
