Detector Seminar - A journey through the beam diagnostics of the Super-FRS
KBW Hörsaal
GSI
The superconducting in-flight magnetic separator Super-FRS currently under construction at
FAIR in Darmstadt (Germany) will produced fragment beams at relativistic energies (q≈Z) with
large angular acceptance (Delta Theta = ±40 mrad, Delta Phi = ±20 mrad) and momentum distribution (dp/p =
±2.5%) together with a high resolving power of 1500.
Its operation will be implemented with the Super-FRS beam diagnostics, which can be used to
tune the separator, providing the necessary measure for machine safety and monitoring. In addition,
the Super-FRS setup and detectors can be combined with the NUSTAR experiments using rare
isotopes up to uranium produced with a magnetic rigidity up to 20 Tm via fission/fragmentation,
spatially separated within a few hundred nanoseconds and delivered to different experimental
branches, allowing for an event-by-event particle identification, tracking and characterization of
the produced ion species.
The key features of the designed diagnostics system will be presented, together with old and
new remarkable developments and recent successful beam test results.
