Future perspective in mineralogical science at Photon Factory

Abstract

Photon Factory (PF) has been used in various fields of mineralogical science for 35 years after the first photon came out. At high-pressure beamlines, new measurement systems have been developed for both static- and shock-compression experiments. Other beamlines have been widely used for the analyses of natural and artificial minerals and PF is now planning to construct a new beamline for the scanning transmission X-ray microscopy.
