202 FRIB Graduate Brochure
FRIB instruments Imagination, creativity, and scientific knowledge are the lifeblood of nuclear physics research, but the equipment is the skeleton that brings form and substance to research. FRIB provides scientific users with opportunities using fast, stopped, and reaccelerated beams. To realize the unprecedented discovery potential of FRIB, exquisite, state-of-the-art experimental instruments are needed. Instruments The S800 Spectrograph is a versatile workhorse for fast-beam experiments that can identify the exotic fragments produced and measure their energies. It combines both high-resolution and high-acceptance in a single device. Combined with target and detector systems, it addresses a wide range of nuclear science topics covering nuclear structure research and nuclear astrophysics. Gamma-rays are detected in the Segmented Germanium Array (SeGA) and gamma-ray energy tracking array (GRETINA), the scintillation array CAESAR (CAESium iodide ARray), and the 4pi Summing Nal detector (SuN). Protons and light atomic nuclei are measured and studied in various charged particle detectors, including the High-Resolution silicon strip detector Array (HiRA). Neutrons are studied with the Neutron Emission Ratio Observer (NERO), the Low-Energy Neutron Detector Array (LENDA), and the Modular Neutron Array and Large Multi-Institutional Scintillator Array (MoNA-LISA). One unique feature of FRIB is the opportunity to convert the wide range of rare isotope beams that FRIB can provide at higher energy into beams that can be reaccelerated. At low energies rare isotopes properties can be studied with high precision with the ion trap mass spectrometer LEBIT (Low Energy Beam and Ion Trap), the Beta Counting System (BCS), and the BEam COoler and LAser spectroscopy station (BECOLA). Reacceleration of the low-energy beams with the ReA facility opens a wide range of science experiments, for example with the Separator for Capture Reactions (SECAR), an important new instrument for nuclear astrophysics experiments at FRIB, or the solenoidal spectrometer SOLARIS for a variety of nuclear reaction studies.

Other tools and resources • FRIB has complete electronics and mechanical engineering departments and a modern machine shop equipped with a variety of CNC machines capable of building complex parts for experimental equipment. • If you need something for your research project, the purchasing department at FRIB is there to help. Purchasing approval, placement of an order, and receiving are all handled in-house—saving a lot of time. Collaborations Additionally, students benefit from strong national and international collaborations, for example the Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics (JINA-CEE) and the Mesoscopic Theory Center (MTC). In addition, several FRIB faculty are members of the NUCLEI (NUclear Computational Low-Energy Initiative) SciDAC project, or the Center of Excellence for Radioactive Ion Beam Studies for Stewardship Science. The laboratory is also the focal point for the FRIB Theory Alliance, an initiative in theory related to FRIB. • Graduate students work on personal desktop computers and have access to the FRIB linux clusters, as well as to MSU’s high-performance computing center.
