National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory 103Undergraduate students 71 Graduate students 36 Postdocs 41 Faculty Coupled Cyclotron Facility located on the campus of Michigan State University in East Lansing, MI
Nuclear Data at Michigan State University More than 1000 RIBs have been made – more than 900 RIBs have been used in experiments
Facility for Rare Isotope Beams 400kW beam power (5 x U/s) Separation of isotopes in-flight Reaccelerated beams (up to 12 MeV/u) Project started in June 2009 Ground breaking: March 17, 2014 Early completion expected in 2020 Official project completion is 2022
New accelerator and present experimental areas

FRIB Projected Production Rates
New nuclides with FRIB ~80% of all isotopes for Z<92
Nuclear Data Project Started in December 2014 DOE subcontract from ANL Hired Jun Chen
XUNDL 122 datasets for 80 different papers in 4 months
Mass chains A=43: B. Singh and J. Chen (final check on preprint with evaluators, started at McMaster in 2011) A=42: J. Chen and B. Singh (just submitted for referee review, started at McMaster in 2011) A=164: B. Singh and J. Chen (just submitted for referee review, started at McMaster in 2011) A=209: J. Chen and F. Kondev (final, to be printed, started at ANL in 2012) A=109: S. Kumar, J. Chen and F. Kondev (pre-review with F. Kondev, started at ANL in 2013) A=40: J. Chen and B. Singh (in evaluation, started at MSU in April 2015)
Summary Nuclear data project established at MSU Currently concentrating on XUNDL and mass chains Establish close connection to experimenters at NSCL/FRIB Ensure fast and complete evaluation of NSCL/FRIB data Propose and run data related experiments at NSCL/FRIB
