The Present Rare Isotope Facility at GSI  Low primary beam intensity (e.g U /s)  Low transmission for projectile fission fragments (4-10% at the FRS)  Low transmission for fragments into the storage ring and to the experimental areas  Limited maximum magnetic rigidity FRS: for U-like ESR:cooler performance and to deflect break-up fragments)  Limited space in front of the production target  Limited space at the experimental area 1  Limited space at the ESR injection area 2  Beam-line magnets, area 3, are not designed for fragment beams Limitations

The high-energy branch of the Super-FRS: A universal setup for kinematical complete measurements of Reactions with Relativistic Radioactive Beams The R 3 B experiment: identification and beam "cooling" (tracking and momentum measurement,  p/p ~10 -4 ) exclusive measurement of the final state: - identification and momentum analysis of fragments (large acceptance mode:  p/p~10 -3, high-resolution mode:  p/p~10 -4 ) - coincident measurement of neutrons, protons, gamma-rays, light recoil particles applicable to a wide class of reactions The setup

RISING = Rare ISotope INvestigations at GSI 2 major ‘campaigns’ so far 1) Fast (in-beam) Campaign 2) Stopped (isomer/  -decay) Campaign We are in the middle of the isomer part of this campaign. Next year we will be looking at beta decays-in principle the method will be very similar to the experiments to be described in the lectures by Paul Mantica. All the results I will show are preliminary and not fully analysed.

EXL- What information can we expect? Elastic scattering -nuclear matter radii/distributions -haloes,skins,central densities Inelastic scattering -surface collective states/electric giant resonances/analysing powers -bulk props.in asymmetric matter/compressibilty/soft modes Charge exchange -GT/spin-dipole resonances/spin-isospin excns. -neutron skin/spin excns./stellar weak interaction rates Transfer reactions -spectroscopic factors/s.p. particle and hole states/pair transfer -s.p.structure/spin-orbit interaction/pairing interaction Quasi-free scattering -s.p.spectral function/cluster knockout -s.p.structure/nucleon-nucleon correlations/in-medium interactions ●First real programme of reaction studies with exotic nuclei in a ring. ●Detector system will handle a wide range of different types of reaction. ●Exclusive measurements-hence of interest with stable beams too.

ELISe – Electron-Ion scattering in a Storage Ring Aims:- a)Charge distributions from (e,e) scattering. b)Selective excitation of low-lying collective states,giant resonances and new soft modes using (e,e / ). c)Electrofission studies. d)Studies of (e,e / N) and cluster knockout.
