The PLANET is the high-pressure beamline newly constructed at J-PARC. The beamline aims at revealing the effect of water on the Earth's interior. The most characteristic feature is to possess the huge 6-axis press with the maximum load of 500 ton/axis, which can generate high-PT condition of 10 GPa and 2000 K, simultaneously. By using the state-of-the-art neutron diffraction and radiography techniques, the beamline offers microscopic and macroscopic information of materials at high-PT conditions. The beamline is designed so as to analyze structures of both crystalline and amorphous materials.
