The proposed addition to the Cyclotron is a building with a 20-foot ceiling that would accommodate an experimental reaccelerator system, which is currently under construction.
This could position MSU even stronger in its effort to land the proposed rare isotope accelerator that I've mentioned before.
The university’s next proposal to the National Science Foundation would be aided by the completion of a reaccelerator and also would place MSU at the forefront for future projects, Wilcox said.
One such project, a next generation rare isotope beam facility, is a plan the government wants to pursue in the future, Glasmacher said.
“(MSU is) competing for that against everyone else in the nation,” Glasmacher said.
Well, not everyone. I would think its stiffest competitor right now is Argonne.
