Boosted by the £3.4m FRIB Accelerated-beams for Understanding Science and Technology (FAUST) project, funded by the UK Research and Innovation’s Science and Technology Facilities Council, researchers from the University of Surrey will create detectors for the new GRETA gamma-ray array. This array is part of Michigan State University’s $730 million FRIB particle accelerator.

Indiana Wesleyan University received a Major Research Instrumentation grant from the National Science Foundation, part of a larger $3.7M grant awarded to eight member institutions in the Modular Neutron Array Collaboration (MoNA). The award will be used to design, construct, test, and install a new high-resolution fast neutron detector array at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams.

A £3.4m project, funded by the UK Research and Innovation’s Science and Technology Facilities Council, will develop detectors to sit inside the Gamma-Ray Tracking Array at FRIB. The FRIB-Accelerated Beams for Understanding Science and Technology (FAUST) project uses detectors that can stop very high-energy particles in their tracks and measure the speed at which reactions take place inside stars.

Indiana Wesleyan University has received a Major Research Instrumentation grant from the National Science Foundation, as part of a larger $3.7M grant awarded to eight member institutions in the Modular Neutron Array Collaboration. The award, titled "Development of a Next Generation Fast Neutron Detector," will be used to design, construct, test, and install a new high-resolution fast neutron detector array at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, operated by the U.S. Department of Energy and located at Michigan State University.
