Abstract
The PEFP (Proton Engineering Frontier Project) is in its finishing stage before completion in 2012 and 15 months are left until the 1st beam service, which will be started in January 2013. To achieve the second and the third objectives of the PEFP, development of proton beam utilization technologies and industrialization of developed technologies, we have operated a user program over the past 8 years. In this report, we will review the achievements of the user program to cultivate and foster proton beam users and beam utilization technologies in diverse R&D fields such as nano-, bio-, semiconductor, space, radiation, and environment technologies, and in medical and basic sciences, etc. In addition, we will discuss how we can promote beam utilization and improve applicability of PEFP’s 100-MeV linac after completion of its construction. A survey of proposals for proton-beam applications and an organization of an association of users will be conducted during the next year.
