Suspension of MLF user operation
Dear J-PARC Users, especially those utilizing MLF,
We would like to thank you for your continued support of J-PARC's activities.
At the J-PARC/MLF neutron source facility, it was observed that the amount of moisture in the helium vessel containing the main components of the neutron source had increased beyond normal operation levels. As it is necessary to investigate the cause, to inspect equipment inside the helium vessel, and to replace the suspected components, we have decided to cancel the MLF user operation, which was originally scheduled to be continued until June.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and frequent troubles that this causes to users.
Please wait for our future announcements regarding the updated MLF operation schedule. We will also inform you of how your accepted proposals will be handled.
Thank you for your understanding.
Takashi Kobayashi, Director of J-PARC Center
