CENS will be in close collaboration with RAON Users Association, enriching the scientific programme with rare isotope beams to be produced at RAON.
The institute for Rare Isotope Science(IRIS) is aiming to produce new rare isotopes using the RAON accelerator, which provides an opportunity to study new rare isotopes including other advanced basic sciences such as material science and biomedical applications
The CENS logo depicts both a Korean word "희귀핵" which means "rare or exotic nucleus", and a layout of beamlines and experimental halls of a generic accelerator facility.
