Senior Officials from the U.S. Department of Energy, Including Dr. Darío Gil, Visit J-PARC
On January 29, Dr. Darío Gil, Under Secretary for Science at the U.S. Department of Energy, Dr. Harriet Kung, Deputy Director for Science Programs, Office of Science, Ms. Kristen Ellis, Associate Principal Deputy Under Secretary for Science, and Mr. Cameron Salony, Director of the Japan Office and Energy Attaché at the U.S. Embassy in Japan, visited the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) and the neutrino experimental facilities at J-PARC.
The MLF is a research facility that produces the world's most intense neutron and muon beams. The visitors toured the experimental hall while receiving explanations of the experimental instruments.
A neutrino beam at J-PARC is directed toward Super-Kamiokande, located 295 km away.
The visitors also observed the near detector installed underground from ground level at the neutrino monitoring building.
