Accelerator Physics at
NSCL and FRIB

The National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University has a long history of innovative advancements in accelerator science for use in nuclear physics.  The latest in this line will be the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), presently in its early development, and scheduled to come on-line near the end of this decade.  Toward the goal of efficient acceleration of high intensity particle beams, at FRIB and other facilities as well, the MSU/NSCL/FRIB Accelerator Physics faculty and staff members pursue studies in superconducting radio frequency accelerating devices, intense ion sources, beam instrumentation and diagnostics, and fundamental particle beam dynamics.
