FRIB Working Groups

FRIB Users have formed numerous Working Groups specializing in instruments, halls, or scientific topics. Some of these groups have their own external web pages or web sites, other have pages on this site, and others are still being formed.

This list of possible Working Groups below was formulated as part of the plan for the FRIB Equipment Meeting to be held in February 2010; more information on this meeting can be found on our Gatherings page. Click on the link at the right or below to get more information on individual Working Groups.

Conveners: please contact coordinator@fribusers.org to update the basic information on these pages, to add extra pages, or to link to external web sites.

Here is the current list of working groups:

Astrophysics
