FRIB will provide very unique particle beams and opportunities to the low energy nuclear physics community. One of which is the measurement of new cross sections of interest to the basic and applied sciences. These new cross sections will help us shed light on fields from nuclear astrophysics to nuclear reactor design. Barring the development of a neutron target, cross sections will have to be obtained using direct charged particle reactions. For the past several years we have been developing this capability in normal kinematics.
In this talk I will discuss the current status of the surrogate direct reaction technique and requirements for inverse kinematics that will be used at FRIB. This work performed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under Contract DE-AC52-07NA27344.
