• Talks highlighted the CATS Target Lab at Argonne, the Ursinus Liquid Hydrogen target, the MUSIC active target detector, the JENSA gas jet target, and implanted/anodized targets for high-intensity beam experiments

• There is lots of target development work ongoing in the community• “traditional” targets like deuterated plastic films, isotopically enriched foils, implanted targets,

gas cells, cryogenic targets, liquid hydrogen, active/tracking targets, tritium targets…

• The CATS Lab continues to be an important and well-utilized resource for the community• Target fabrication (e-beam deposition, standard deposition, rolling, film casting, plating…)• Growing R&D program (target characterization, wet chemistry…)

• A poll is open regarding the merging of these two Working Groups: https://forms.gle/o7cjcgFm8vh48NsKA

FRIB Neutron Source Working Group Summary

• Science Motivation: – neutron-induced reactions on unstable isotopes needed for basic & applied research– FRIB isotope harvesting will provide access to unstable samples– establishing an intense neutron source at FRIB can realize exciting new science!

• Other Motivations– establishes true multi-user capability at FRIB– strong societal applications in nuclear security, nuclear energy …– train young scientists in reaction measurements & detector work

• Next Steps: – collect best science case examples for white paper– investigate different neutron source specifications

RESOLUTIONSAs a community, we reinforce our commitment to foster a diverse scientific workforce, we support and are respectful of diversity in all its forms in the community and we are wholly committed to ensuring an inclusive environment for all.

The community recognizes the challenges of the current global situation and looks forward to returning to active user programs at all the US and international facilities, as restrictions and procedures related to the COVID-19 pandemic permit us to do so safely.

FRIB remains our top priority. The community eagerly anticipates the impending completion of FRIB and building of the instrumentation necessary to realize FRIB’s tremendous scientific potential. Continued support for GRETA and HRS is important. The FDS and SOLARIS are necessary for our community to realize FRIB’s scientific opportunities. The science casefor an energy upgrade of FRIB to 400 MeV/u is extremely compelling and would significantly expand the science opportunities at FRIB.

Operation of the national user facilities ATLAS and NSCL at optimal levels is fundamental to the health of our community. The ARUNA facilities are central to the low-energy science program and their continued effective operation is crucial. The community strongly supports the funding of these facilities and critically, the associated research groups at both universities and national laboratories.

The FRIB Theory Alliance is a key and fundamental component of our field. The bridge faculty and theory fellowship positions at universities and national laboratories help to grow key capability in this aspect of our community. We strongly endorse continued support of the FRIB-TA and its programs, including computational theory and related astrophysics.

JINA is an essential part of low-energy nuclear science. It builds the strong national and international communication and collaboration links across disciplines that are critical for nuclear astrophysics in the multi-messenger era. We strongly endorse support for JINA.
