Introduction
The Nuclear Reactions Division focuses on the design, construction, and realization of the R3B experiment at FAIR. R3B experimental setup is a versatile reaction setup engineered for high efficiency, large acceptance, and high resolution, enabling kinematically complete measurements of reactions with relativistic radioactive beams. This work is carried out by our dedicated R3B Project Group within the international R3B collaboration.
Profiting from this experience, we also contibute to the design and development of few other NuSTAR experimental setups at FAIR, such as Super-FRS, ELISe and EXL.
The physics program of the division Nuclear Reactions, undertaken in co-operation with groups from TU Darmstadt and University of Frankfurt, is focused on the investigation of reactions with heavy-ion beams, in particular rare-isotope beams at energies well above the Fermi energy. Through these studies, we aim to advance the understanding of fundamental nuclear properties and dynamics, as well as astrophysical reaction rates.
