5. Management
Headed by the RNC Director Hiroyoshi SAKURAI, the RIKEN Nishina Center for Accelerator-Based Science (RNC) consists of:

9 Laboratories
10 Groups with 27 Teams
2 overseas research centers with 3 Groups

as of the end of FY2020. There are also two 'Partner Institutes' which conduct research in the laboratories set up in RNC. RNC is managed
by its Director who takes into consideration the majority decision of the RNC Coordination Committee. The management of RNC is supportedby the following committees:Program Advisory Committee
Safety Review Committee
RIBF Machine Time Committee
Public Relations Committee

There are also committees to support the President of RIKEN and/or the Director of RNC such as:
Nishina Center Advisory Council with three subcommittees:
・RBRC Scientific Review Committee (SRC)・International Advisory Committee for the RIKEN-RAL Muon Facility
・RBRC Management Steering Committee (MSC)

Program Advisory Committee
The Program Advisory Committee reviews experimental proposals submitted by researchers and reports the approval/disapproval of theproposals to the RNC Director. The Committee also reports to the RNC Director the available days of operation at RIBF or the Muon
Facility at RAL allocated to researchers. The Committee is divided into three categories according to the research field.


Nuclear Physics Experiments at RIBF (NP-PAC): academic research in nuclear physics
Materials and Life Science Researches at RNC (ML-PAC): academic research in materials science and life science
