A new polarized neutron reflectometer (SHARAKU) was installed at the beam line 17 (BL17) of the Material and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) in the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). The user program of this reflectometer has been already started in February 2012. We will report the outline design specification, and the basic performance of this new reflectometer.
