The research program of our division is devoted to development and realisation of experiments dedicated to study of properties of exotic nuclei and nuclear dynamics. We are especially focused on the design and construction of the R³B experiment. Goal of our reasearch program is the understanding of the structure and reactions of exotic nuclei, which in comparison with stable nuclei have very large variation in neutron-to-proton ratio. These types of studies are of importance for basic research and they play a central role in astrophysics, e.g. in the element synthesis in the Universe. Moreover, properties and reactions of neutron-rich nuclei enable the access to understanding of very asymmetric nuclear matter such as e.g. neutron stars.

More details on the developements concerning R³B experimental setup can be found here.

Information for staff and guests

If you are planning to come to GSI and work at the R³B experimental setup, the following information will be important for you; it is strongly recommended to use Internet Explorer/Edge and/or Mozilla Firefox, with Chrome some of the registration forms below do not function properly:

• Registration at GSI - if you register for the first time, please fill in Haik Simon as the local contact person.
• GSI Welcome Office - if you need an invitation, questions about insurance, funding oportunities...
• User service of GSI (guest house)
• Entrance requirements for caves during beam operation
• Online safety training - important: for Cave C, you need the radiation safety AND the general safety AND the Cave C safety training not older than 12 months. In case you have problems with Cave C safety training access, please contact Haik Simon. Please note, when you log in for the first time, you need to type in the local contact person. Please fill in Haik Simon. This is mandatory, otherwise Haik Simon can not asign the needed instructions to the user.
• Internet is available via wifi with an eduroam account or by a guest account (link to application form).

If you have any further questions concerning the webpage of our group, please contact Aleksandra Kelic-Heil.
