NUSTAR and the status of the R3B project at FAIR

摘要

Over the last 15 years, reaction experiments on fixed targets using secondary beams of high energy have developed a potential as exploratory tool to study the properties of nuclei far from stability. NUSTAR (nuclear structure, astrophysics and reactions) is a collaboration of the international nuclear structure and astrophysics community with the aim to further explore this method at the FAIR Facility. Within the FAIR complex, NUSTAR defines a facility where the heart is the super-fragment separator (Super-FRS), which serves three experimental branches: The RING, the LOW- and the HIGH-ENERGY branches.
