Scientists and engineers at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) have reached a new milestone in isotope studies. They accelerated a high-power beam of uranium ions and delivered a record 10.4 kilowatts of continuous beam power to a target. The work is published in the journal Physical Review Accelerators and Beams.
The Department of Energy (DOE) has given the green light for construction to begin on a high-energy upgrade that will further boost the performance of the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), the world's most powerful X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) at the DOE's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. When complete, the upgrade will allow scientists to explore atomic-scale processes with unprecedented precision and address fundamental questions in energy storage, catalysis, biology, materials science and quantum physics like never before. SLAC has teamed up with national labs, along with the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams at Michigan State University for the LCLS-II-HE upgrade project.
Artemis Spyrou, professor of physics at the Facility of Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) and in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Michigan State University (MSU), and Sean Liddick, associate professor of chemistry at FRIB and in MSU’s Department of Chemistry, and FRIB associate director for experimental science, have authored a piece about how scientists today continue to use ideas from the nuclear shell model to explain new phenomena in nuclear science to create more exotic nuclei to understand how their properties change compared with their stable counterparts.
Scientists and engineers at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) have reached a new milestone in isotope studies. They accelerated a high-power beam of uranium ions and delivered a record 10.4 kilowatts of continuous beam power to a target. Uranium is the most difficult element to accelerate. However, it is extremely important to scientific research. Of the more than 17 highest-priority scientific programs with rare isotope beams identified by the National Academy of Sciences and the Nuclear Science Advisory Committee, more than half require a uranium primary beam.
