FROBN2 | Technical Challenges in Design and Construction of FRIB | 2561 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by DOE CA DE-SC0000661 and Michigan State University. The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) will be a world-leading, DOE national users facility for the study of nuclear structure, reactions and astrophysics on the campus of Michigan State University. A superconducting, heavy-ion, driver linac will be used to provide stable beams of >200 MeV/u at beam powers up to 400 kW (~650 electrical micro-amps for uranium) that will be used to produce rare isotopes by in flight fragment separation. The selected rare isotopes will be used at velocity (~0.5 c), stopped, or reaccelerated. FRIB is a challenging technical project. An overview of the project, project challenges, and mitigating strategies will be presented. |
