  38. Future Plan Facility & Device After the installation of the New Injector for SRC, existing Linac will be used mostly for the Superheavy research. We will have two recoil ion separators for the Superheavy research. Beam time for Superheavy research will increase much. We should try to utilize fully this situation as efficient as possible. We will consider to open our RILAC + GARIS facility to users worldwide both Chemists and Physicists near in future. We could show the intensities of certain isotopes of heavy elements to users within a few years. Periodic Table of D.I. Mendeleev. The new superheavy elements
