Past, present and future of radioactive ion beams produced In-Flight at LNS

The FRIBs@LNS facility produces Radioactive Ion Beams (RIBs) at intermediate energies, by projectile fragmentation. The possibility of using the produced RIBs as secondary beams in nuclear physics experiments by applying the tagging technique, i.e. the identification, event-by-event, in charge, mass and energy of each ion of the RIBs cocktail selected by the fragment separator, before it interacts with the secondary target, has been demonstrated. In 2010 an upgrade of the facility has been performed. Status and perspectives of the FRIBs@LNS facility are discussed
