Abstract
This article is intended to be an introduction to studies of nuclear structure at the future FAIR facility. It addresses interested readers not necessarily expert in the field. It outlines the physics aims and experiments to be carried out at FAIR in the field of nuclear structure and astrophysics. The characteristics of the beams from the main separation device, the Super‐FRS and the various setups at the three experimental branches associated with the Super‐FRS are described. The aims of the various experimental setups, how they complement each other and the physics they will address are all briefly explained. The concept of the r‐process of nucleosynthesis is outlined at the beginning and used as a running example of how useful it will be to be able to carry out experiments with beams of short‐lived, exotic ions.
