Astrophysics
Description
An FRIB Astrophysics Collaboration has been formed that is an umbrella collaboration for various equipment and theory projects in nuclear astrophysics at FRIB. This includes work to construct a recoil separator SECAR optimized for measurements of radiative capture reactions with low energy FRIB radioactive beams.
The collaboration, which currently has 58 members, is open to anyone interested in nuclear astrophysics research at FRIB.
We encourage everyone to visit the FRIB Astrophysics Collaboration website at http://fribastro.org to get more information and to join up !
