3. The Present Rare Isotope Facility at GSI Limitations • Low primary beam intensity (e.g. 108238U /s) • Low transmission for projectile fission fragments (4-10% at the FRS) • Low transmission for fragments into the storage ring and to the experimental areas • Limited maximum magnetic rigidity (@ FRS: for U-like fragments, @ ESR:cooler performance and magnets, @ALADIN, to deflect break-up fragments) • Limited space in front of the production target • Limited space at the experimental area 1 • Limited space at the ESR injection area 2 • Beam-line magnets, area 3, are not designed for fragment beams

8. The high-energy branch of the Super-FRS: A universal setup for kinematical complete measurements of Reactions with Relativistic Radioactive Beams The setup • The R3B experiment: • identification and beam "cooling" (tracking and momentum measurement, Dp/p ~10-4) • exclusive measurement of the final state: • - identification and momentum analysis of fragments • (large acceptance mode: Dp/p~10-3, high-resolution mode: Dp/p~10-4) • - coincident measurement of neutrons, protons, gamma-rays, light recoil particles • applicable to a wide class of reactions

9. Experiments at the low-energy branch Energy-bunched slowed-down and stopped beams  Decay spectroscopy (DESPEC)  In-flight g spectroscopy (3 – 100 MeV/u) (HISPEC)  Laser spectroscopy (LASPEC)  Ion traps (MATS)  Neutron capture (NCAP)  Antiprotonic nuclei (Exo+pbar)

11. Experiments at the low-energy branch pbar RIB Unique feature: RIBs and pbar at (almost) the same place Monoenergetic degrader in-beamg-ray spectroscopy Slow beams (100...3 MeV/u) Monoenergetic + variable degrader a, b, g-decay spectroscopy Stopped beams ( ~ 25meV) He-filled ion catcher LASER spectroscopy ISOL-type beams (~10...100 keV) EBIS + analyzer in-trap ex- periments Highly- charged ions

12. FAIR-the Complex of Storage Rings A unique combination where one can apply all the lessons from the SIS-FRS-ESR complex and build on it. CR:-Efficient collection and stochastic pre-cooling to p/p ~ 10-4 in fraction of s RESR:-beam can be decelerated to 100MeV/u in 1 s [at 740 MeV/u]

17. RISING = Rare ISotope INvestigations at GSI • 2 major ‘campaigns’ so far • 1) Fast (in-beam) Campaign • 2) Stopped (isomer/-decay) • Campaign We are in the middle of the isomer part of this campaign. Next year we will be looking at beta decays-in principle the method will be very similar to the experiments to be described in the lectures by Paul Mantica. All the results I will show are preliminary and not fully analysed.

18. EXL- What information can we expect? ●First real programme of reaction studies with exotic nuclei in a ring. ●Detector system will handle a wide range of different types of reaction. ●Exclusive measurements-hence of interest with stable beams too. Elastic scattering -nuclear matter radii/distributions -haloes,skins,central densities Inelastic scattering -surface collective states/electric giant resonances/analysing powers -bulk props.in asymmetric matter/compressibilty/soft modes Charge exchange -GT/spin-dipole resonances/spin-isospin excns. -neutron skin/spin excns./stellar weak interaction rates Transfer reactions -spectroscopic factors/s.p. particle and hole states/pair transfer -s.p.structure/spin-orbit interaction/pairing interaction Quasi-free scattering -s.p.spectral function/cluster knockout -s.p.structure/nucleon-nucleon correlations/in-medium interactions

19. ELISe – Electron-Ion scattering in a Storage Ring Aims:- a)Charge distributions from (e,e) scattering. b)Selective excitation of low-lying collective states,giant resonances and new soft modes using (e,e/). c)Electrofission studies. d)Studies of (e,e/N) and cluster knockout.
