Notice: Change of Visit Type on Application Form for SPring-8 Facilities

SPring-8/SACLA has been making various efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19 infections. As a result, online participation in experiments through web conferencing systems has increased, and some beamlines have started remote operation of instruments through online operation. Accordingly, the “Radiation Handler” procedure was initiated, which allows experiments to be conducted with a simpler procedure.
