PLANET is a high-pressure neutron beamline recently constructed at MLF in J-PARC. Most characteristic feature of the beamline is to possess the large six-axis multi-anvil high-pressure ATSUHIME press, which enables in-situ neutron diffraction under high pressure and high temperature condition up to 10 GPa and 2000 K. Smaller presses, a Paris-Edinburgh press and Mito cell, are also available and the accessible PT conditions with each device are 20 GPa at room temperature and 5 GPa at 77 K, respectively. The beamline is equipped with incident slits and receiving collimators that eliminates parasitic scattering from the high-pressure cell assembly to obtain clean data. The high performance of the diffractometer and low-parasitic scattering characteristics enables precise structure determination of crystals and liquids under high pressure and temperature conditions. In this presentation, the specification of the PLANET and recent results obtained at PLANET are introduced.
