Users wishing to conduct experiments at J-PARC/MLF are encouraged to submit
proposals via the web-based “J-PARC proposal system”.

Period of 2009B term (schedule): From October 30, 2009 to February 27, 2010

Eligibility: Applicants must belong to a legal organization or entity that

Available instruments: Neutron and Muon instruments available for the 2009B
user program are as follows.
Although the power of the pulsed proton beams available for experiments is
expected to be about 20kW or more, the exact available time will depend upon
the progress of the commissioning of the accelerator and instruments
currently taking place.

(Neutron instruments)
BL-01: 4D Space Access Neutron Spectrometer (4SEASONS)
BL-03: IBARAKI Biological Crystal Diffractometer (iBIX)
BL-08: Super High Resolution Powder Diffractometer (SuperHRPD)
BL-10: Neutron Beam-line for Observation and Research Use (NOBORU)
BL-14: Cold-Neutron Disk-Chopper Spectrometer (AMATERAS)
BL-16: High-Performance Neutron Reflectometer with a Horizontal Sample
Geometry (ARISA-II)
BL-19: Engineering Diffractometer (TAKUMI)
BL-20: IBARAKI Materials Design Diffractometer (iMATERIA)
(Muon instrument)
D1: D1 instrument

The commissioning of BL16 will be continued until the end of the 2009B term.
Then, BL16 will have limited availability for general users.

Specific program for BL-03 and BL-20 which are conducted by Ibaraki
Prefecture will be called separately.
