DNA is a time-of-flight backscattering spectrometer installed at BL02 neutron port seeing a coupled moderator of Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) in Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) aiming at revealing pico to nano second dynamics in a wide field of basic sciences and industrial applications including soft matter, bio-molecules, chemical molecules, battery, catalyst, and magnetism. Recent scientific outcomes exhibit a wide variety of research fields and methods of experiments and data analyses. In my presentation, current status and upgrade plan in near future of the DNA spectrometer and typical experiments demonstrating its performance will be presented.
