Windows on the Universe: Nuclear Astrophysics at FRIB — NSF Award to Michigan State University (MI, $1,300,000)
The project focuses on the study of nuclear reactions that drive astrophysical processes. In particular, the PIs focus on the study of extreme astrophysical environments where the participating nuclei are short-lived and not naturally found on earth.

| Abstract | The project focuses on the study of nuclear reactions that drive astrophysical processes. In particular, the PIs focus on the study of extreme astrophysical environments where the participating nuclei are short-lived and not naturally found on earth. The PIs will perform experiments at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) and other complementary facilities, which can produce these exotic nuclei. Through these experiments the PIs will investigate the synthesis of heavy elements in stars and |
