An article introducing NanoTerasu featuring the mascot character ‘Higgs-tan’ has been published
Through “Higgs-tan,” a series that has previously introduced particle physics facilities such as J-PARC (Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex), Super-Kamiokande, the LHC (Large Hadron Collider), and IceCube (Neutrino Observatory) using original characters, an article featuring NanoTerasu has now been published.
The article uses very clear and easy-to-understand illustrations to explain the mechanism of synchrotron radiation and to introduce the facility itself. It is highly recommended for those who are new to NanoTerasu or would like to deepen their understanding of what the facility is all about.
