Reaction studies with relativistic exotic nuclei

R3B-EXL Workshop

Santiago de Compostela (Spain)

September 28 - 30, 2005

R3B comprises a versatile setup of detectors with high efficiency, acceptance and resolution for kinematically complete measurements of reactions with high-energy radioactive beams. The setup will be located at the focal plane of the high-energy branch of the Super-FRS at the new FAIR facility (Darmstadt, Germany). The experiment setup is suitable for a wide variety of scattering experiments, such as heavy-ion induced electromagnetic excitation, knockout and breakup reactions, or light-ion (in)elastic and quasi-free scattering in inverse kinematics, thus enabling a broad physics programme with rare-isotope beams to be performed.

The EXL objective is to capitalise on light-ion reactions (such as elastic and inelastic scattering, charge-exchange reactions, quasi-free scattering and transfer reactions) in inverse kinematics by using novel storage-ring techniques and a universal detector system providing high resolution and large solid angle coverage in kinematically complete measurements. The apparatus is foreseen being installed at the internal target at the NESR storage-cooler ring of the FAIR facility.

Due to the important synergies between these two scientific communities the R3B and EXL collaborations have decided to join their annual working meetings. This is the first joint annual R3B-EXL collaboration meeting to exchange information and review the status of the design of the detection systems.

The GENP (Experimental Group of Nuclear and Particle Physics) will be very pleased to host the R3B-EXL Workshop in Santiago de Compostela.
