NUSTAR Annual Meeting 2016

07.03.2016 | 

The NUSTAR Annual Meeting 2016 was held at GSI in the week February 29 to March 4. With about 200 international participants the attendance was large again this year. The attendees were impressed by substantial progress in the development and realization of detector set-ups and their associated infrastructure. This guarantees the continuation of the successful experiment program in the field of super-heavy element research at the UNILAC at GSI and many other NUSTAR experiments at other facilities worldwide.

It was shown that preparations for the NUSTAR FAIR Phase-0 experimental program planned at the FRS of GSI from 2018 onwards are on the right track. Latest research highlights from successful experiments at GSI and other laboratories were broadly discussed. The participants were satisfied by the recent organizational changes at GSI and FAIR and welcomed in particular the advances in the planning of the LEB building, which is indispensable for some NUSTAR experiments.

During the full week many working groups and sub-collaborations used the opportunity to discuss their developments, to report on latest results and to plan the next steps of their work.
