Welcome
We have established 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.Our Highest Priority project is SECAR - the Separator for Capture Reactions. SECAR will be built in the 3 MeV Hall and will be optimized for direct measurements of capture reactions on unstable nuclei that power stellar explosions. SECAR is the flag ship experiment for the FRIB nuclear astrophysics community. More information on SECAR can be found on these pages.
The FRIB Astrophysics Collabration website is used 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 Users Organization - Input to FRIB CDR:
In Spring 2010, the
FRIB Users Organization drafted the science case
for the Conceptual Design Report (CDR) for an FRIB Review in
Summer 2010. Our Collaboration was involved in writing the
astrophysics portion of the CDR.
