Status and future plans for research with rare isotope beams at the coupled cyclotron facility (CCF) at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University (MSU) will be presented with emphasis on the re-acceleration of thermalized beams from projectile fragmentation.

The ISAC facility at TRIUMF is providing over 200 different radioactive
beams to users at energies
up to 5 MeV/u. Plans exist to extend the facility by an additional
200muA proton beam line and
a photo-fission facility based on a mega-watt class superconducting
electron linac.
One of the experimental facilities at ISAC is TITAN, a high precision
Penning trap mass spectrometer.

The RIKEN Radioactive Ion Beam Factory, a major upgrade of the
existing heavy-ion accelerator facility at RIKEN, has recently been
commissioned. Three new ring cyclotrons boost the beam energies to
440 and 350 MeV/u for light and heavy ions, respectively with an
intensity goal for Uranium beams of 1p micro A.
From these primary beams intense secondary radioactive ion beams will
be...

Nuclear structure physics is testing nuclei to the limits of their existence by
imposing extreme values of Isospin, Exitation energy and Angular momentum
on them. In hyperdeformed nuclei the deformation parameter is the central
issue. Theoretical predictions are that nuclei at extreme angular momentum
might acquire shapes with small axis ratio 3:1 and that rotational bands might
exist in...
