SECAR
The Separator for Capture Reactions (SECAR) will be a recoil separator at FRIB that is optimized for measurements of low-energy capture reactions of importance for nuclear astrophysics. It will be located in the FRIB low-energy hall. Measurements with SECAR will likely focus on reactions needed to improve our understanding of novae and X-ray bursts.
