FRIB Accelerator: Design and Construction Status

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is based on a continuous-wave superconducting heavy ion linac to accelerate all the stable isotopes to above 200 MeV/u with a beam power of up to 400 kW. At an average beam power approximately two-to-three orders-of-magnitude higher than those of operating heavy-ion facilities, FRIB stands at the power frontier of the accelerator family - the first time for heavy-ion accelerators. In August 2014, the FRIB Project entered into full construction phase. Based on verified innovative designs, the FRIB accelerator team is working closely with partner laboratories and contracted industrial providers on the construction, installation and commissioning of the facility. This report summarizes the current design and construction status.
