FRIB Project: Moving to Production Phase

The Facility of Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) project was presented in SRF2013 [1]. This paper reports the progressed situation of this project since SRF2013. FRIB project is now moving to production phase. FRIB superconducting RF (SRF) linac project and challenges are presented. This paper address the status of the SRF hardware production, SRF infrastructure status and plans for ramping to full production, and also focus on information that can be relevant for future large proton/ion SRF linac projects.
