Description
While the construction of the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at MSU nears completion and the commissioning of the heavy-ion linear accelerator is well underway pre-FRIB Nuclear Science continues to be pursued at NSCL’s Coupled Cyclotron Facility. A common feature of NSCL and FRIB are the delivery of fast, stopped, and reaccelerated beams. Experiments using the latter “ISOL” type beams have become a major contributor to the Nuclear Science program and will continue to do so at FRIB.
In this presentation I will provide a brief status update on FRIB and then focus on stopped and reaccelerated beams capabilities and on ongoing research and future opportunities with such beams at FRIB.
