The MLF Spectroscopy Group consists of six time-of-flight instruments for inelastic and quasi-elastic neutron scattering in the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) at J-PARC. 4SEASONS, HRC, AMATERAS, and POLANO are direct geometry spectrometers. By a combination of these instruments,MLF gives opportunities to study dynamics in widely spread fields including solid state physics, amorphous materials and liquids, soft and biological matters, as well as industrial applications such as tire rubbers and battery materials. In this presentation, we review the characteristic features of these 6 instruments and scientific opportunities realized by the instruments.
