Continued Development of SEE Test Facilities and Programs at MSU

FSEE beam line
Michigan State University’s Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) continues to develop heavy ion delivery capabilities for single event effect studies and device validation. This talk will discuss several new developments. This first is the commissioning and start of operations of a dedicated facility based on our K500 cyclotron, including ongoing improvements of our dosimetry and experimental controls. The second is the development of a second beamline on the FRIB linac to deliver 160-300 MeV/u heavy ions to add capacity for high energy heavy ion testing. The third is the expansion of workforce development efforts within the MSU Space Electronics Initiative and our yearly SEE Bootcamp programs.
