A user registration is required to join the experiment. If you do not have a position at RIKEN (visiting scientist, etc.), you should be registered at an external user ("RIBF-independent user"). This is a position at RIKEN, but for CRIB users the procedure will be taken care by CNS. Please prepare the following documents and submit to the responsible person in CNS (Yamaguchi/Ms. Kotaka) for the registration. (Please do not send these to RIKEN, unless your main work is for RIKEN experiment or you have a position (visiting scientist etc.) at Nishina Center. )
The forms are available at the RIKEN site:
(See "Registration as RIBF Independent Users".)
and basically we need the registration form and the affidavit.
As for the email address to be filled in the form, they want an official one (at your insititute, etc.), and a free-email address (like gmail) may not be accepted.
If this is your first time registration, we also need a digital picture of you, which appears on the entrance ID card. Please prepare a picture in which you are directly facing to the camera, against a simple background.
For people from European institutes, "GDPR" is also needed. (Please see the above RIBF page.)
The registration may take a few weeks. A personal card will be issued after the registration.
The registration expires in two fiscal years, or when you moved to another institute. You need to submit forms when you want to extend or remake your registration. (Please consult us.)
Please tell us if you have joined an experiment at CNS/RIKEN in the last 2 years. You may be able to skip some of the paperwork.
You need to submit the Certificate for registered radiation worker.
The form is also available at the website above (see the sample also). For foreign visitors, the first page and the last page should be prepared (also see "Sample" on the page). Visitors at a Japanese institute should fill the second page as well.
In this form, only your signature and the date are needed to be filled by you. Do not fill your name in printed letters, as a signature is required.
The form should be used as it is (no need to put a letterhead). A hand-written signature by your radiation-safety administrator in your institute is required. Please send us the certificate early enough (we need two weeks or more) so that we can finish the registration before your arrival. (Note in Dec. 2022: we had treated the certificates as expired after our fiscal year is changed (on April 1), but that rule does not exist anymore. So the certificate will be valid till the expiry date specified in the certificate.)
New rule since Dec. 2022: RIKEN stopped asking us the original copies of documents other than the Affidavit. These radiation documents can be scanned and send to us by email.
(Additional note in Dec. 2022: the signature in the Affidavit can be a digital signature, and in that case the "original copy" can be a printed one (i.e. no need to send it via air mail). I recommend this way, as we can complete everything by emails. Here the "digital signature" means just an image of the signature pasted onto the pdf/MS Word form. It is not necessary to be the digital signature of Adobe (or some other) format.)
In addition to submitting the form, you have to take the safety training:
Since you need a reservation to take the safety training, please let us know your available time (otherwise, we may make a reservation at earliest possible time). After the training, you will obtain a dose badge to enter the radiation-controlled area at the RIBF users office.
(Additional note in Dec. 2022: these days the initial training can be completed online, and you can finish it by your coming. The procedure is notified by the Users Office, after the registration process is fully completed. You may still need to take on-site video lecture for RIBF, and please follow the instraction of UO.)
Most of the buildings in RIKEN are locked, and you need a card to open it. Temporal entrance card issued at the reception (west gate) of RIKEN also works as the key, but basically you should return it within a day.
If you finish the registration above, your personal card will be given at the secretary's room, on the 2F of the CNS building.
The CNS building is locked at night, on weekends and holidays. (Note: now it's always locked, since the pandemic happened in 2020.) You need to input a number to unlock the door. (Please ask a CNS member for the key number.)
There is an electric-lock gate between the Sakura House and Nishina Lodge, and some of the temporary cards do not work for that gate. Basically the temporary card should be replaced with the personal card (which should work for all the gate) within the day. But if your card does not work for the door, please go to the west gate (never climb on the fence).
There are two internal lodges in RIKEN, Nishina Lodge and Sakura House (H-building).
-The schedule must be fixed 10 days earlier than your arrival, at latest. For any change after that should be
requested through the secretary at CNS.
(New reservation system from 2016.7)
The reservation system of the Nishina Lodge/Sakura House has been changed, and the procedure is as follows:
Also please make sure:
-You have to pay the fee by the end of each month at the reception of each lodge (or Sakura house if you are staying at Nishina Lodge), even if you stay beyond the end of a month. They only accept cash in Japanese yen.
-You cannot stay longer than 30 days at the two internal lodges. (If you want to stay longer, please consult us.)
-The internal lodges do not accept mails or packages sent to you. If you want to receive something, please send it to a person in CNS (or some laboratory RIKEN).
-The numbers of rooms are limited, and sometimes all the rooms are fully booked. In that case, please reserve your rooms outside RIKEN by yourself. The nearest hotels are:
all of which can be booked on the web in English.
According to the rule made recently, information of all the visitors from foreign countries has to be registered at the system at U-Tokyo.
Please send Yamaguchi the following information by email:
-Name (on the passport)
-Nationality
-Graduated universities/departments (Both for the undergraduate/graduate),
-Present affiliation/department and position
-Expected arrival/departure dates
-Research topic at U-Tokyo (usually can be filled by our side)
If you want to stay at CNS for more than 30 days, several documents must be submitted to the University, about 1.5 month before your stay.
Please ask Yamaguchi (yamag@cns.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp) for any questions.
You need to wear a working jacket while you work in the radiation-controlled area (experimental rooms in the basement). You can borrow it either from CNS or RIKEN, but please do not fail to return it to the proper location on your leaving.
CNS: The jackets are in the post box/stationary room in front of the secretaries' room on the second floor of the CNS building. Record your name on the notebook (ask some Japanese to find it), and return the jacket to a secretary after use.
RIKEN: You can borrow one at the entrance of the radiation-controlled area, and the return box is also nearby. RIKEN has more large-sized jackets.
Please do not write your name on the borrowed jacket!
Any person who will be working in the radiation controlled area is requested to complete a retraining program provided by Nishina Center for each fiscal year. One cannot enter the area without completing it, The program is offered at the following URL. The spokesperson should make sure that all the participants finish the retraining prior to the experiment.
Please visit the following web page:
http://www.nishina.riken.jp/researcher/retraining/index_e.html
You may find you do not have the number which is needed to
reconstruct the password. Please ask us in that case.
For using the network in CNS/RIKEN, you need to observe the local network rules.
You must take the training course before connecting your PC to the network in RIKEN:
Online information security course http://accc.riken.jp/en/elearning/
Avoid file sharing software at RIKEN http://ccr.riken.jp/2364.htm
Important Items Regarding Information Security http://ccr.riken.jp/en/security/sec-notice/
-These training programs are only available in the network of RIKEN. That means you should take it on another PC, or you may do it on your first connection of your PC.
-Your PC must have a security software installed.
-Please make sure your PC is not using any P2P-type software. Such sofware is often used for illegal file sharing, and connection to your PC is always be monitored. If a P2P connection is detected, they may prohibit your PC to be connected to the network of RIKEN/CNS. An explanation will be required even if the usage of the P2P is not illegal. Some of anti-virus software uses P2P for updating the pattern, which is an example of non-illegal usage.
-Since 2015, the network of CNS allows connections only from devices with a registered MAC address, and a digital certificate must be installed in your device. A temporary certificate without MAC address registration is also available, but the certificate expires within a week. Please ask us for details. The RIKEN network has no such restriction.
You need to have an IC card to make the payment at the cafeteria of RIKEN.
The cards they accept are so-called traffic IC cards, SUICA, PASMO, ICOCA, etc.
You can buy a card at a railway (JR, Tokyo Metro and others) station, but not at RIKEN (charge is possible at RIKEN cafeteria).
For details of SUICA, please see: http://www.jreast.co.jp/e/pass/suica.html
