Description
The physics program at the superconducting fragment separator Super-FRS, being operated in a multiple-stage, high-resolution spectrometer mode at radioactive-beam energies up to 1500 MeV/u for the heaviest projectiles [1], will be presented. This versatile spectrometer, coupled to the heavy-ion synchrotrons SIS18/SIS-100, will be a backbone facility of the NuSTAR collaboration of the FAIR project for research with exotic nuclei. The Super-FRS will be used for production and transmission of separated isotopes to three experimental areas, but it can also be used as a stand-alone experimental device together with ancillary detectors. Various combinations of the magnetic sections of the Super-FRS can be operated in dispersive, achromatic or dispersion-matched spectrometer modes which are suited for measurements of momentum distributions of secondary reaction products with high resolution and precision. Taking advantage of the multiple stages and flexibility of ion-optical modes, the Super-FRS is a worldwide unique instrument in the high-energy range, which allows for a variety of novel experiments in atomic, nuclear and hadron physics as well as an extension of preceding experiments at the existing fragment spectrometer FRS [2].
Among the planned experiments are the search for new isotopes and measurements of their production cross sections, studies of hypernuclei, Delta-resonances in exotic nuclei and spectroscopy of atoms characterized by bound mesons. Rare decay modes like multiple-proton or neutron emission and the nuclear tensor force observed in high-momentum components of the nucleons can also be addressed. The in-flight radioactivity measurements in the picosecond range, pioneered at the FRS, will be extended with the proposed program. Fusion, transfer and deep-inelastic reaction mechanisms with the slowed-down and energy-bunched fragment beams are proposed for the high-resolution and energy buncher modes at the Low-Energy Branch of the Super-FRS.
Examples of the related experimental setups,pilot experiments and developments of the ancillary detectors will be presented.
