The Super-FRS Facility

The Super-FRS will be the most powerful in-flight separator for exotic nuclei up to relativistic energies. Rare isotopes of all elements up to uranium can be produced and spatially separated within some hundred nanoseconds, thus very short-lived nuclei can be studied efficiently. The Super-FRS is a large-acceptance superconducting fragment separator with three branches serving different experimental areas including a new storage-ring complex. The new rare-isotope facility is based on the experience and successful experimental program with the present FRS.

Technical Design Report The Super-FRS magnetic system will consist of three branches connecting different experimental areas. Reaction studies under complete kinematics, similar to the present ALADIN-LAND setup, will be performed at the High-Energy Branch. Unique studies will be performed in the Ring Branch consisting mainly of a collector ring CR, the NESR, RESR and an electron nucleon collider (eA). Precision experiments with a brilliant electron-cooled exotic beam including reaction studies with the atoms of an internal target will be done in the NESR. A novelty will be electron scattering from exotic nuclei in the eA-collider section. The Low-Energy Branch of the Super-FRS is mainly dedicated to precision experiments with energy-bunched beams stopped in a gas cell.
