The GSI Fragment Separator or FRS is a facility built in 1990 at GSI near Darmstadt, Germany. It produces and separates different beams of (usually) radioactive ions.

The process is made from a stable beam accelerated by UNILAC and then SIS impinging on a production target. From this, many fragments are produced. The secondary beam is produced by magnetic selection of the ions.
