The FRIB Decay Station initiator (FDSi) [] (see ) was developed to enable comprehensive radioactive decay studies of the exotic nuclei produced by FRIB and it was used in the first two experiments in 2022. The FDSi is a highly reconfigurable multidetector system with two focal planes (FP1 for discrete spectroscopy and FP2 for total absorption spectroscopy) that can be optimized for the specific science goals of each experiment. It is designed, built, and operated by a community of users with the support of U.S. funding agencies, including the Department of Energy and National Science Foundation.
