International Conference on Science and Technology for FAIR in Europe 2014

In this contribution I will discuss the quasi-free scattering program at R3B. A compilation of experimental results on the single-particle structure of stable and exotic nuclei probed via the quasi-free scattering reaction in inverse kinematics will be presented. The cross sections and momentumdistributions are compared to recent calculations employing the reaction model presented in Ref. [1] and, where available, to previous experimental work. Finally, the future experimental program on quasi-free scattering reactions, which is enabled through the major upgrades in the R3B apparatus and the high intensity radioactive-ion beams foreseen at FAIR, will be discussed.
