“…The geometry adopted for DTAS is shown schematically in figure 8 where we see the sixteen modules coupled to 5 in. photomultiplier tubes arranged around the central hole of 10 × 10 cm 2 that is needed to house AIDA [28], the array of DSSSDs placed at the end of the Super-FRS (GSI) [29] or BigRIPS (RIKEN) [30] to detect the separated, short-lived nuclei produced in fragmentation and recorded in coincidence with DTAS. The spectrometer has been commissioned [31] with radioactive species with the very clean beams from the double Penning Trap at the IGISOL on-line mass separator facility [32] at the University of Jyväskylä.…”

Beta decay studies with the total absorption technique B Rubio, W Gelletly, E Nácher et al.Towards detailed knowledge of atomic nuclei -the past, present and future of nuclear structure investigations at GSI J Gerl, M Grska and H J Wollersheim Beta decay studies with total absorption spectroscopy and the Lucrecia spectrometer at ISOLDE Here we present the experimental activities carried out at ISOLDE with the total absorption spectrometer Lucrecia, a large 4π scintillator detector designed to absorb a full gamma cascade following beta decay. This spectrometer is designed to measure β-feeding to excited states without the systematic error called Pandemonium. The set up allows the measurement of decays of very short half life. Experimental results from several campaigns, that focus on the determination of the shapes of β-decaying nuclei by measuring their β decay strength distributions as a function of excitation energy in the daughter nucleus, are presented.

“…The in-flight fragment separator Super-FRS [4,5] with a maximum magnetic rigidity of Bρ = 20 Tm will be able to spatially separate exotic nuclei up to relativistic energies. Very short-lived nuclei of all elements up to uranium will be delivered to three branches of the Super-FRS as described below: Reaction studies with complete kinematics at the High-Energy Branch (HEB), high precision and decay spectroscopy as well as precision experiments with energy-bunched beams stopped in a gas cell at the Low-Energy Branch (LEB), and finally experiments in the Ring Branch where within the Modularized Start Version of FAIR the Collector Ring (CR) will be the first one available from the future storage ring complex.…”

Abstract. The NUSTAR Collaboration brings together several hundred scientists to form one of the four scientific pillars of the future FAIR facility. NUSTAR aims at the exploitation of intense radioactive beams with energies up to 1.5 GeV/u in order to explore nuclei with large neutron or proton excess. The project has evolved over the last years and now reached a state where a large fraction of the core program is financed, partly built, and even ready for operation. With the signing of the FAIR convention in 2010 and the start of construction, the sub-projects in NUSTAR gain momentum and look forward to commissioning and first beams in this decade. The present status of the project will be presented, focusing on the instrumentation to be applied in the various experimental areas behind the Super-FRS fragment separator, which is the central instrument of NUSTAR.

Remote Handling (RH) systems are now frequently used to conduct inspections and maintenance in hazardous environments. New particle accelerator facilities present unique logistic challenges due to high radiation levels, a hazardous environment and heavy loads. The Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) will deliver a beam of all ions up to uranium with intensities up to 10 12 238 U ions/s, which will cause high levels of radiation during operation so human access is limited. This paper contains a survey on RH logistics for existing High Intensity Beam (HIB) facilities to determine state of the art RH practices and to draw a conclusion based on the analysis. The second part of this paper presents a detailed study of beam losses, the radiation environment, RH logistic challenges and some proposed solutions for Super-FRS. This paper will also suggest a Systems Engineering (SE) approach for developing Super-FRS RH logistics.
