Description
The HISPEC-DESPEC collaboration, part of the NUSTAR (NUclear STructure, Astrophysics and Reactions) FAIR pillar, aims at studying exotic nuclear structure phenomena with high-resolution in-flight spectroscopy (HISPEC) and stopped-beam experiments (DESPEC).
In recent years, the experimental activity of the collaboration has been focussed on decay studies, where secondary beams produced in projectile fragmentation reactions are selected and identified by the FRS fragment separator. The ions of interest are implanted in the DESPEC setup, composed of a suite of state-of-the-art detectors designed to provide spectroscopic information on exotic nuclei following isomeric and/or $\beta$ decay. With the advent of the new Super-FRS and high energy, high intensity beams provided by the new SIS-100 accelerators will allow to reach out to the most exotic species.
Highlights from recent experiments of the FAIR Phase-0 will be reported on and future perspectives at the Super-FRS will be discussed.
