NUSTAR latest news

The NUSTAR collaboration met in Jyväskylä, Finland, from September 29 until October 1 and discussed the latest developments and status of NUSTAR.

The so-called blue-line markings for the alignment of beam-line components were added in the High-Energy Cave (HEC) of NUSTAR. This is a major step in the installation process.

As the first major component of the NUSTAR collaboration, the GLAD vacuum chamber was successfully transported to the NUSTAR High-Energy Cave.

For the envisaged transport of the large vacuum chamber of the GLAD dipole magnet from its present location at GSI to the High-Energy Cave (HEC) of FAIR, a first test with air cushions was perfomed. In addition, the equipment for lifting the device was tested.

The target chamber of the Super-FRS arrived at GSI and will undergo further tests and preparatory work before the transport to the FAIR construction site and installation at its final location in November 2025.

Today, the multiplet LM11/LM_01 was moved to its final location in the Super-FRS tunnel (pre-target area).
