U.S. Department of Energy approves start of execution of $49.7M project: High Transmission Beam Line at FRIB

Caption

HRS is a scientific instrument that will serve as the core of FRIB’s fast-beam program. It will significantly extend FRIB’s scientific reach for neutron-rich isotopes. With HRS, the luminosity for experiments with the most neutron-rich and interesting nuclei will increase by a factor of up to 100. HRS (including both HTBL and SPS) is over 230 feet long. HTBL consists of 12 magnets of differing magnetic field configurations and functions, weighing 640,000 pounds in total.
