From MSU News: New standard at NSCL provides assurance of quality to users
NSCL has earned an important international certification indicating that the service it renders to the world’s nuclear scientists – namely rare isotope beams – meets rigorous international standards for quality. The ISO 9001 registration reflects international consensus on best practices for the laboratory's quality policy.
From the CERN Courier: The stop-start approach to rare isotope beams
"A better technical approach is to stop the beams, extract them and then reaccelerate them or use them at low energies," writes Don Monroe in a feature for the July/August CERN Courier, describing the various ways to create low-energy beams for rare isotope research. "This is the path that MSU has opted for in upgrading its NSCL facility."
Video: Update from MoNA collaboration
"Here our interest is finding the kind of fluctuations and trends that occur in the cosmic ray distribution, both from Michigan State and Santa Barbara, simultaneously," says Warren Rogers, Interim Academic Dean and also Professor and Chair of the Department of Physics & Engineering at Westmont College in California, in a video released June 12 describing the Modular Neutron Array (MoNA) collaboration.
NSCL professor addresses the future of rare isotope research
"During the past decade, chemists and physicists have begun a fabrication process at the scale of atomic nuclei," writes Brad Sherrill, NSCL Associate Director for Research, in the May 9 issue of Science. The National Science Foundation describes the paper in a press release and accompanying video.
