Welcome to FRIB

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University (MSU) is a world-class research, teaching and training center, hosting what is designed to be the most powerful rare isotope accelerator. MSU operates FRIB as a user facility for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science (DOE-SC), supporting the mission of the DOE-SC Office of Nuclear Physics. FRIB allows MSU graduate students to engage in groundbreaking research in tandem with their coursework. Open the doors to discovery with the newest and most advanced rare isotope research facility and the world's most powerful rare isotope accelerator.

PHITS Advanced Tutorial

15 September 2024 - 8:00 AM
1221A and 1221B FRIB Laboratory
Show/Hide Abstract
PHITS (Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code System) is a general-purpose Monte Carlo particle transport simulation code developed under a collaboration between several institutes all over the world. It can simulate the transport of nearly all particles over wide energy ranges, using nuclear reaction models and nuclear data libraries. PHITS can support research in the fields of particle and heavy ion transport phenomena
