Our mission has been to allow scientific users to succeed and to educate the next generation of nuclear scientists. When we complete operations in 2022, the NSCL will have lead in scientific discovery since 1982. The National Science Foundation’s National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory, NSCL, is a national user facility with the mission to allow scientists from all over the world to make scientific discoveries about the inner workings of atoms and their role in the universe. Thank you for visiting our website and wanting to learn more about the NSCL. Message from the NSCL Laboratory Director As a National Science Foundation funded national user facility on the campus of MSU, the laboratory offers unparalleled education and research opportunities to graduate students. This operation will end in 2022 when FRIB user operations begin. NSCL continues to operate the ReA accelerators to complete approved experiments with stable and long-lived radioisotopes. If you are interested, please take some time to explore the FRIB website,. Experiments with FRIB will begin when user operation commences in early 2022. While it has operated for over 40 years, most of the NSCL program has now transitioned to the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams. It allowed scientists to make scientific discoveries about the inner workings of atoms and their role in the universe. The National Science Foundation’s National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory, NSCL, is a national scientific user facility available to scientists from around the world.
