Description
Summary:This contribution presents the current status of Research Center for Electron Photon Science (ELPH), which is a university-based laboratory operating electron linear accelerators and a synchrotron. ELPH suffered serious damage from the Great East-Japan Earthquake (3.11 Disaster) that took place in 2011. A huge amount of restoration work has been almost completed and the research activity revives two years after the quake. The analysis restarted at long last for the data which had been obtained in experiments employing a 4π electromagnetic (EM) calorimeter before the disaster. Some preliminary results are presented to show how we are playing catch-up. Another EM calorimeter (BGOegg) has been under construction in parallel with post-disaster reconstruction.
