The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science (DOE-SC) has awarded $115 million for the High Rigidity Spectrometer (HRS) project at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University (MSU). The HRS instrument will enable scientists to characterize the properties of isotopes that are created in rare-isotope reactions produced at about 50 percent of the speed of light. With the ability to measure properties such as the mass, charge, and velocity of rare isotopes produced in those conditions, HRS will be a centerpiece experimental instrument of FRIB’s fast-beam program that will substantially increase FRIB’s scientific reach and productivity.
