The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams: Providing New Opportunities for Science.

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University is a user facility that supports a global community of scientists in studying rare isotopes. It offers opportunities in nuclear structure and reactions, astrophysics, and physics beyond the standard model. FRIB also provides research quantities of rare isotopes for medical diagnostics and material science. The facility has a range of scientific instruments and is expanding its capabilities with the addition of the High Rigidity Spectrometer (HRS) and an energy upgrade to the linac. The article highlights various instruments and technologies used at FRIB, as well as the development of new technologies that have potential applications in other industries.
