The experiments promised to provide new insights into the fundamental nature of the universe.
A multi-institution team led by researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory , University of Tennessee, Knoxville , Mississippi State University and Florida State University, together with researchers at MSU, began running the first experiment at FRIB on May 9, 2022. The group directed a beam of calcium-48 – a calcium nucleus with 28 neutrons instead of the usual 20 – into a beryllium target at 1 kW of power.
The facility accelerated a beam of selenium-82 and used it to produce rare isotopes of the elements scandium, calcium and potassium. These isotopes are commonly found in neutron stars, and the goal of the experiment was to better understand what type of radioactivity these isotopes emit as they decay. Understanding this process could shed light on The first two FRIB experiments were just the tip of the iceberg of this new facility’s capabilities.
