J-PARC

J-PARC (Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex) is a large facility in Japan that uses powerful proton beams to explore fundamental science. By accelerating protons to very high energies and smashing them into targets, J-PARC produces unique particles and radiation. These are used in physics experiments to study the building blocks of matter, as well as in materials science, medicine, and agriculture. Essentially, it’s a cutting-edge research hub that helps scientists understand how the universe works and develop new technologies benefiting society.
