FRIB Users Organization Goals
The FRIB Users' Organization is a group whose members are interested in the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) for the purpose
of conducting scientific research and developing new technology. The purposes of this association are:
(a) To work towards the realization and timely construction of FRIB and the development of its instrumentation and physics program;
(b) To act as an advocate for the needs of the FRIB user community during project construction;
(c) To articulate and promote the scientific case for rare-isotope science and its significance to society;
(d) To act as an advocate for the field of rare-isotope science in the U.S.A. in order to maximize its scientific potential.

FRIB Users Organization Executive Committee - Operations Subcommittee
In November 2011, the NSCL Users Group merged with the FRIB User Organization
and our Charter was changed to establish a standing (that is, permanent)
Operations Subcommittee of the Executive Committee. This Subcommittee
will have 3 members, and they will focus initially on operations at the
NSCL facility at MSU; their focus will shift to operations
at FRIB once the new facility is commissioned at MSU. Members of this
Subcommittee will be active Users of the NSCL facility (in the near term)
and the FRIB facility (once it is commissioned). Subcommittee members are
full members of the FRIB User Organization Executive Committee, and can
be chosen to serve as Chair of the Executive Committee.
The members of the Operations Subcommittee are:
Michael Famiano, Western Michigan University [term expires Dec. 31, 2012]
Paul Fallon, LBNL [Dec. 31, 2013], and
Krzysztof Rykaczewski, ORNL [Dec. 31, 2014]
FRIB Users Organization Executive Committee - Theory Representation
In November 2011, the FRIB Theory Users Group merged with the FRIB User Organization,
and our Charter was changed to establish to set aside one slot for a Theorist.
The Theorist in this slot is a full member of the FRIB User
Organization Executive Committee, and can be chosen to serve as Chair of
the Executive Committee. The current Theory representative is
Ian Thompson, LLNL [term expires Dec. 31, 2014].
