FACILITY FOR RARE ISOTOPE BEAMS After 12 years of construction, the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) will open for experiments in 2022. This gives you the opportunity to be among the first researchers with a new window on the universe. Discover your potential as FRIB’s discovery potential is unlocked. Unprecedented discovery potential There are some 300 stable and 3,000 known unstable (rare) isotopes. FRIB will produce and make available for research these and many undiscovered rare isotopes. FRIB will enable scientific research with fast, stopped, and reaccelerated rare isotope beams, supporting a community of about 1,500 scientists around the world planning experiments at FRIB. Supporting the mission of the Office of Nuclear Physics in U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science (DOE- SC), FRIB will enable scientists to make discoveries about the properties of rare isotopes, nuclear astrophysics, fundamental interactions, and applications for society, including in medicine, homeland security, and industry. FRIB history and status In December 2008, the DOE-SC announced that MSU had been selected to design and establish FRIB. FRIB is now about 95 percent complete and is tracking to early completion in 2022. At the heart of FRIB is a high high-power superconducting linear accelerator that already has been demonstrated to accelerate ion beams to more than half the speed of light to strike a target, creating rare isotopes. With these beam tests demonstrated, FRIB became the highest-energy superconducting heavy-ion linear accelerator. Another significant milestone was achieved in September 2020, when FRIB was designated as DOE-SC’s newest scientific user facility. FRIB adjoins and incorporates the current <strong>NSCL</strong> facility making effective use of existing infrastructure. Funding and future impacts The total project cost of FRIB is $730 million. The state of Michigan has contributed $94.5 million of that cost. MSU’s contribution beyond the total cost is $212 million.

Pictured above is Brouillette with MSU President Samuel L. Stanley Jr., M.D. (left) as they unveil the designation plaque. Forty-six cryomodules (green boxes) comprise the FRIB linear accelerator. 6
On March 19, 2020, FRIB accelerated an argon-36 beam through 37 of 46 superconducting cryomodules (highlighted) to 204 million electron volts per nucleon (MeV/nucleon) or 57 percent of the speed of light, demonstrating the accelerator Key Performance Parameter (KPPs) required at project completion. FRIB features • A superconducting-radio frequency driver linear accelerator that provides 400 kW for all beams with uranium accelerated to 200 MeV per nucleon and lighter ions to higher energy (protons at 600 MeV per nucleon). • Two electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion sources with space to add a third ECR ion source. • Space in the linac tunnel and shielding in the production area to allow upgrading the driver linac energy to 400 MeV per nucleon for uranium and 1 GeV for protons without significant interruption of the future science program. • An advanced fragment separator to select rare isotopes • Three rare isotope stopping stations • Experimental areas (47,000 square feet) for stopped beams, reaccelerated beams, and fast beams. • Upgrade options include doubling the size of the experimental area, adding a neutron-scattering facility, or the addition of ISOL or light-ion injection. • Opportunity for a pre-FRIB science program using the existing in-flight separated beams from the Coupled Cyclotron Facility and the ReA3 and ReA6 reaccelerators. Users will be able to mount and test equipment and techniques and do science with the beams at all energies in-situ so that they are immediately ready for experiments when FRIB is complete; this allows for a continually evolving science program while FRIB is being completed, seamlessly merging into the FRIB research program. • A User Relations Office to support development of user programs. FRIB’s cryogenic plant is complete and cooling liquid helium to 2 Kelvin. 7
