iThemba LABS, based around the Separated Sector Cyclotron (SSC), is already the premier nuclear particle accelerator laboratory in Africa and indeed in the Southern Hemisphere. It proposes to address two of the “Grand Challenges” identified by the Dept. of Science & Technology, – i.e. Energy Security and Space Sciences – by building a rare-ion beam facility to bring South Africa to a position...

The next generation radioactive beam facility in the U.S. is the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) which is currently being established at Michigan State University. FRIB is based on a 200 MeV/u 400kW superconducting linear accelerator. Initial capabilities include fragmentation of fast heavy-ion beams combined with gas stopping and reacceleration. The science program of FRIB will cover...
