Research Areas & Capabilities
In establishing and operating FRIB, capabilities were developed that transfer to other industries and applications.
FRIB's SRF technology is world-class and has been used to establish FRIB as the world's most powerful heavy-ion accelerator.
To meet its need for liquid helium to operate the SRF linear accelerator, FRIB built and operates its own helium cryogenic plant—the most reliable and energy-efficient in the nation.
FRIB400
The FRIB400 energy upgrade will extend FRIB’s scientific reach 100-fold.
