Acknowledgments

The ISF design was developed at MSU with detailed input from the nuclear science community. The design process relied on many documents that have outlined the scientific case for rare isotope science and various facilities considered to carry out this science.

The material contained in this report came from many sources. The scientific justification for the ISF benefited from presentations and discussions with more than three hundred participants at 10 scientific meetings and workshops held within the last two years at the NSCL, many discussions with NSCL users, and input of the NSCL User Executive Committee.

We wish to acknowledge the many scientists listed below who participated in focused workshops on ISF topics, discussions of key points, and recent research collaborations; all of them helped shape the science focus and the evolving plans for the ISF. In particular, we thank the colleagues who provided in-depth editorial review and comment on this document. We apologize in advance to anyone that we have inadvertently neglected to mention.
