Here, we present commissioning results of the High ElectRon Average Current for Lifetime ExperimentS (HERACLES) beamline at Cornell University. 10 mA average beam current at 200 keV was achieved with a Cs3Sb photocathode operated with an Argon laser at 488 nm. HERACLES is intended to be a test facility to improve the robustness of photocathodes developed for high average current beam operation in conjunction with the Cornell photocathode laboratory.
The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) delivers a wide variety of rare isotopes as fast, stopped, or reaccelerated beams to enable forefront research in nuclear structure, astrophysics, and fundamental interactions. To expand the scientific potential of FRIB’s stopped and reaccelerated beam programs, we are designing a Multi-Reflection Time-of-Flight mass spectrometer and separator (MR-ToF MS). It will enable high-precision mass measurements of short-lived isotopes, improve beam diagnostics, and deliver isobarically and isomerically purified beams to downstream experimental stations. It is designed to store ions at a kinetic energy of 30 keV, significantly enhancing ion throughput while maintaining high mass resolving power. In conclusion, we present the scientific motivation, technical design, and simulations demonstrating the expected performance of the system, which has the potential to significantly enhance FRIB’s mass measurement, diagnostic, and mass separation capabilities.

An inorganic Fe and Al halide-based, low-temperature molten salt catholyte is described, which, when paired with a molten sodium anode, has high operating potentials rivaling those of Li ion batteries. The newly developed catholyte consists of metal halides FeCl 3 /FeCl 2 –AlCl 3 –NaCl and is intended to cycle between Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ redox couples in the molten salt. The multicomponent molten salt was initially evaluated for phase behavior and basic electrochemical behavior before full battery testing. The assembled battery, utilizing a 20:35:45 (FeCl 3 :AlCl 3 :NaCl) composition, with a 50.83 Ah/kg theoretical gravimetric capacity and a specific energy of 176.95 Wh/kg, was cycled at variable depths of discharge (DoD) and current densities to determine its cycling efficiencies and limitations. In conclusion, preliminary cycling tests showed two operational potential regimes, with higher potential, 3.91 V (vs Na/Na + ), at low DoD and lower potential, 3.39 V (vs Na/Na + ), at high DoD with excellent energy efficiencies and cycling behavior under both regimes.
