Abstract
The Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR), under construction at Darmstadt will provide intense relativistic beams of exotic nuclei at its Superconducting-FRagment Separator. High-resolution in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy will be performed in the HISPEC experiment, using the European Advanced GAmma-ray Tracking Array (AGATA). The PreSPEC-AGATA campaign is the predecessor of HISPEC and runs from 2012 to 2014 at GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH. Up to19 AGATA modules were used at GSI's F Ragment Separator in 2012. We report on the status of the experiment including preliminary results from performance commissioning.
Highlights
The Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) is under construction next to the campus of the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung Gmbh
Spectroscopic nuclear structure investigations will be done at the Low Energy Branch (LEB) of the Super-FRS
The HISPEC experiment is dedicated to highresolution in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy with exotic, relativistic ion beams
Summary
The Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) is under construction next to the campus of the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung Gmbh. As one of the major nuclear research facilities in the world, it will provide exotic ion beams of unprecedented quality and intensity for a rich variety of new and unique experiments for fundamental research. One of the four experimental pillars of FAIR, making use of radioactive ion beams from Super-FRS, is called NUSTAR: NUclear STructure, Astrophysics and Reactions. [2]), and are ongoing as the PreSPECAGATA campaign with AGATA [3] detectors until 2014.
