In the era of multi messenger astronomy, together with the electromagnetic, neutrino and gravitational-wave signals, having accurate nuclear input is more important than ever for interpreting astrophysical events. The properties of exotic nuclei, such as their mass, their half life, and their overall structure, together with how these nuclei can capture particles (neutrons, protons, alphas) or photodisintegrate in the stellar environment, are critical. Such a diverse need for nuclear properties, requires the development for a diverse set of tools. In this talk I will present the experimental equipment that is currently available at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) for Nuclear Astrophysics experiments, as well as the plans for new instrumentation, under development for the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). This equipment is (and will be) used in conjunction with fast radioactive beams (~100 MeV/u), with “stopped” beams (~40 keV), and with re-accelerated beams from the ReA facility (0.5-4 MeV/u). The broad suite of experimental equipment and its use in Nuclear Astrophysics experiments will be presented.
*Operation of the NSCL is supported by the National Science Foundation. The FRIB project is funded by the DOE Office of Science, Michigan State University and the State of Michigan.
