Overview of Hadron Facilities

Abstract

Hadron facilities in the world are reviewed, in particular, under the emphasis of recently completed J-PARC. The J-PARC consists of three experimental facilities: materials and life experimental facility, neutrino experimental facility and hadron experimental facility. In this talk the first one is skipped and the second one is described only briefly. Described in detail is the third hadron experimental facility. Other world hadron facilities including COSY, GSI, COMPASS, DAΦNE, and FNAL are also briefly reviewed. Electron facilities are not described in this talk, although the facility at JLab is pursuing hadron physics.
