Japanese facility updates related to few-body physics Original Research Article

There are extensive activities on few-body physics in Japan. Most of facilities are hadron/hyperon beam facilities; RCNP [1], RIKEN [2], KEK [3] and several universities. Such sophisticated equipments are developed as polarized ion sources, polarimeters, polarized targets and so on. In addition, polarized photons are obtained by Compton backscattering of lasers from electrons at SPring-8 [4] and othe electron beam facilities.
