Welcome
We are establishing a collaboration for studies of Nuclear Astrophysics with radioactive beams at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams [FRIB]. It is intended to serve as an umbrella collaboration for various equipment and theory projects in nuclear astrophysics at FRIB.We will use this website to share information on science -- both experiment and theory -- as well as on equipment, collaboration meetings, and documents necessary to bring our plans to reality.
Please join our collaboration to help build an exciting research program in nuclear astrophysics at FRIB ! We currently have 58 members in our collaboration; you can view our membership list on this page. If you have any questions about the collaboration, please contact us for further information.

FRIB Equipment Meeting [and FRIB Astrophysics Collaboration meeting] in February, 2010:
There will be an FRIB meeting on experimental equipment needs on February 20-22, 2010
on the campus of Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan. The goals of
this meeting include ensuring that alternatives for experimental equipment have been
considered, that adequate space is provided in the experimental halls,
and that all users communicate their specific equipment needs to FRIB and to each
other. For more information,
please see our new page on this important upcoming meeting.
SECAR Meeting in January 2010:
The SECAR collaborators will meet on the campus of
Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan on Saturday,
January 30, 2010. At this meeting, we will discuss: system requirements,
benchmark reactions, current design status, canonical and alternative designs, project management plans,
and preparations for the upcoming FRIB Equipment Workshop in February 2010.
For more information, please see our SECAR page;
for more information on this meeting, contact Hendrik Schatz, schatz at nscl.msu.edu.
FRIB Users Organization - Input to FRIB CDR:
In Fall 2009, the
FRIB Users Organization will be asked to draft up the science case
for the Conceptual Design Report (CDR) for FRIB. Our Collaboration
will be involved in writing the astrophysics portion of the CDR.
More details on the mechanism and schedule for CDR drafts will
be posted as they become
available.
New website for the FRIB Users Organization:
The FRIB Users Organization will soon have a new website, which will have
links to other FRIB Collaborations,
information on FRIB, and a mechanism to sign up. Please visit
this new FRIB site and sign up to show your support of FRIB. Also,
please join for this collaboration
if you have an interest in nuclear astrophysics
research at FRIB.
