"Joint ATLAS-HRIBF-NSCL-FRIB Users Meeting", August 18 - 20, 2011
The first annual Joint ATLAS-HRIBF-NSCL-FRIB Users Meeting will be held in East Lansing, MI from 18-20 August, 2011. Many scientists in low-energy nuclear physics now carry out experiments at several user facilities and major equipment such as GRETINA will rotate between the respective laboratories. Hence, the time is right to bring the U.S. low-energy user community together to discuss science, plans, and needs within a single meeting. This new format has been enthusiastically endorsed by the executive committees of the user groups of each facility and the GRETINA Advisory Committee. Details about the meeting can be found at the website http://meetings.nscl.msu.edu/superuser2011/. The plenary sessions will be held in room 1410 of the Biomedical and Physical Sciences building (see the MSU Campus Map at http://maps.msu.edu/files/MSU_full_campus.pdf), near the Chemistry Building and the NSCL. Parking will be available nearby in the Shaw Lane Parking ramp.

"Advances in Nuclear Radiation Detectors and Technologies"
The Workshop on “Advances in Nuclear Radiation Detectors and Technologies for Rare Isotope Science” was held on January 8 and 9, 2011 at the Fiber Optics Auditorium of Rutgers University in Piscataway, NJ. The purpose of this Workshop was to bring together scientists and engineers to discuss new technologies and materials for charged particle detectors and scintillators and to develop a future program to bring these new technologies into the research laboratories. More information can also be found on the workshop website: http://sawg.physics.fsu.edu/Rutgers.

"Reaction Theory for FRIB"
A mini symposium entitled "Reaction Theory for FRIB" was held at the DNP meeting
in Fall 2010. Direct reactions with rare isotope beams will be an important part of the
science program at future facilities such as FRIB. It is essential
to develop reaction theory valid for these
exotic nuclei and understand well the uncertainties involved and the level
of accuracy that can be expected. This mini-symposium, part of the
DNP Fall meeting in Santa Fe on November 3-6, 2010, brought together
the few-body community and the many-body community to discuss promising
developments and stimulate new ideas in the field. It was organized by
Filomena Nunes, Akram Mukhamedzhanov, and Kate Jones
(for the DNP program committee).

"Radiochemistry at FRIB"
A symposium "Radiochemistry at FRIB" was held during the Fall 2010 National Meeting
of the American Chemical Society on August 22-26, 2010 in Boston, MA.
The symposium provided a forum to discuss the potential for the
harvesting and processing of "designer" isotopes for basic and
applied research programs. For additional information, please see the

Symposium Webpage at http://www.nscl.msu.edu/~mantica/radio-frib/

FRIB Experimental Equipment Meeting at MSU
There was a
Workshop on experimental equipment needs at FRIB
on February 20-22, 2010 on the campus of Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan.
The goals of this meeting were to ensure that alternatives for experimental equipment have been
considered, that adequate space is provided in the experimental halls,
and that all users communicate their specific equipment needs to FRIB and to each
other.
