Description
The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, FRIB, started operation in May 2022. Since then, over 400 rare isotope beams have been separated and used in 58 experiments ranging from nuclear structure to creation of generators for medical diagnostics. The FRIB superconducting LINAC has provided primary beams ranging from $^{18}$O to $^{238}$U at energies from 130 MeV/u to 290 MeV/u. Rare isotope beams are formed in-flight using the Advanced Rare Isotope Separator, ARIS. ARIS incorporates a number of features, including infrastructure to operate at 400 kW, momentum compression to better match rare isotope beams to the subsequent experiments, and vertical and horizontal dispersive sections. So far, 12 new isotopes have been identified at FRIB, including $^{71}$Cr, which is predicted to be weakly bound. The talk will review the features of ARIS along with operational experience and first results.
