Resources for FRIB Scientific Users

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams has a number of resources available for FRIB scientific users, potential FRIB scientific users, and members of the FRIB Users Organization. The available resources include:

TOOLs

Code: The following code is available for researchers. Please visit the Beams page for additional information.

• Beams: This page contains the LISE++ code (for estimating fragment transmission) and the LISE++ tutorial PDF (showing an example of developing a rare-isotope beam at FRIB).

Fact sheets: These are short, one- to two-page informational sheets about the FRIB Laboratory, updated at least every month. Please contact communications@frib.msu.edu to request the materials.

File downloads: FRIB has files available for download. Before downloading the files, users must electronically accept the license and end-user agreement.

• Download available schematics and software from FRIB here.

Game: Isotopolis is a free game about FRIB, smashing virtual nuclei, and discovering new isotopes.

• Isotopolis: This game can be played on iOS or Android devices. Download at the App Store, Google Play, or play in a browser.

Videos: There are two versions of this FRIB informational video available online. For downloadable files, please contact FRIB Communications.

• The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at MSU: This is the full video created by MSU that explains FRIB to a general audience. It is available on YouTube.

• FRIB animation: This is the animated segment of the above video that shows how the linear accelerator will produce rare isotopes. It is available on YouTube.

Laboratory access for scientific users: This page contains information about laboratory access for scientific users. Information includes on-campus accommodations and local hotels.
