“…To overcome the limitations of ISOL facilities in the range of elements that are accessible, new facilities have been built at fragmentation facilities. At the ReA facility [174] at NSCL/FRIB the fast beams from the A1900 fragment separator are stopped in a gas cell and subsequently re-accelerated to a several AMeV. A different approach is taken with the OEDO facility at RIBF/RIKEN [175].…”

Transfer reactions are a valuable tool to study the single-particle structure of nuclei. At radioactive beam facilities transfer reactions have to be performed in inverse kinematics. This creates a number of experimental challenges, but it also has some advantages over normal kinematics measurements. An overview of the experimental and theoretical methods for transfer reactions, especially with radioactive beams, is presented. Recent experimental results and highlights on shell evolution in exotic nuclei are discussed.

“…The first two cyromodules of the linac were operated in August, 2013 for a demonstration experiment with a radioactive 37 K beam [59] and the third cryomodule was installed at the end of 2014. In September 2015, the first experiments were run with the full ReA3 system.…”

“…With a similar experimental setup, the production cross sections of very neutron-rich nuclei produced by fragmentation of a 130 MeV/u 76 Ge beam on Be and W targets were determined for a large number of nuclei, including 15 isotopes observed for the first time. These were the most neutron-rich nuclides of the elements   Z 17 25 ( 50 Cl, 53 Ar, 55,56 K, 57,58 Ca, 59,60,61 Sc, 62,63 Ti, 65,66 V, 68 Cr, and 70 Mn) [72,73]. Using a primary beam of 82 Se instead of 76 Ge subsequently enabled the additional observation of the now most neutron-rich nuclides of the elements with   Z 22 2 5 ( 64 Ti, 67 V, 69 Cr, and 72 Mn) [74].…”

NSCL and FRIB at Michigan State University: Nuclear science at the limits of stability

The National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University (MSU) is a scientific user facility that offers beams of rare isotopes at a wide range of energies. This article describes the facility, its capabilities, and some of the experimental devices used to conduct research with rare isotopes. The versatile nuclear science program carried out by researchers at NSCL continues to address the broad challenges of the field, employing sensitive experimental techniques that have been developed and optimized for measurements with rare isotopes produced by in-flight separation. Selected examples showcase the broad program, capabilities, and the relevance for forefront science questions in nuclear physics, addressing, for example, the limits of nuclear existence; the nature of the nuclear force; the origin of the elements in the cosmos; the processes that fuel explosive scenarios in the Universe; and tests for physics beyond the standard model of particle physics. NSCL will cease operations in approximately 2021. The future program will be carried out at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, FRIB, presently under construction on the MSU campus adjacent to NSCL. FRIB will provide fast, stopped, and reaccelerated beams of rare isotopes at intensities exceeding NSCL's capabilities by three orders of magnitude. An outlook will be provided on the enormous opportunities that will arise upon completion of FRIB in the early 2020s.

“…Complementary beamthermalization techniques [5] are also being actively developed including a cyclotron gas-stopper (for light elements), a cryogenic linear stopper (for enhanced efficiency), and a solid stopper (for particularly intense beams of certain elements). Thermalized beams can be delivered to experiments involving ion trapping or laser spectroscopy, for example, or charge-bred [12] and injected into the re-accelerator, ReA [11].…”

Abstract. The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is a United States Department of Energy user facility currently under construction on the campus of Michigan State University. Based on a 400 kW, 200 MeV/u heavy-ion driver linac, FRIB will deliver high-quality fast, thermalized, and re-accelerated beams of rare isotopes with unprecedented intensities to a variety of experimental areas and equipment. New science opportunities at the frontiers of nuclear structure, nuclear astrophysics, fundamental symmetries, and societal applications will be enabled by this future world-leading rare-isotope beam facility.
