Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC)

The Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) is a cutting-edge scientific facility that accelerates protons to high speeds using powerful machines. These high-energy protons are then directed onto targets to produce a variety of particles, which are used to study fundamental physics, materials, and biology. J-PARC helps scientists understand the universe's basic building blocks and develop advanced materials and medical technologies. Located in Japan, it combines large-scale accelerators with sophisticated research labs, supporting both fundamental research and practical applications in medicine, energy, and industry.
