Conclusion • Ion beams at U70 accelerator are expected for users in 2010-2011 • The expected intensity of 12C beam in “Positroniy” channel is up to 106/cycle • Different radioactive light ion beams can be created on the base of carbon beam with momentum of 25-30 AGeV/c • An essential part of experimental equipment exists and could be used in the future experimental setup for 12C+A interaction studies • This opens several quite interesting physics domains for experimental studies, including light nuclei at the limit on neutron stability, EM fragmentation of light radioactive nuclei, phase transition in a cold nuclear matter and neutral meson photoproduction • Welcome to participate in the experiment
