The SCRIT (Self-Confined Radioactive isotope Ion Target) electron scattering facility has been constructed at the RIKEN RI Beam Factory. In the commissioning experiment, the properties of the ion trapping were studied using stable ions. During the commissioning experiment, the first electon elastic scattering exepriment of 132 Xe was performed and the charge density distribution was obtained. The achieved luminosity was 1.8×10 −27 cm −2 s −1 with a 250-mA electron beam current and the injection of 10 8 ions. The production of unstable nuclei has been started and developments for increasing rates of unstable nuclei are in progress. Electron scattering with unstable nuclei will be performed in the near future.
