Description
The DEcay SPECtroscopy (DESPEC) setup assembled for the future GSI-FAIR fascility in Darmstadt, Germany, aims to study the nuclear footprint mainly through gamma ray spectroscopic measurements.
As a part of the NUSTAR project, the DESPEC collaboration aims to search for the exotic nuclear structure phenomena such as shell evolution in nuclei which take part in the astrophysical r-processes. The FAIR “Phase-0” programme has already been started. In persuit of chracterising the exotic nuclei, the gamma-spectroscopy was combined with charge particle spectroscopy using an array of DSSSD’s of the AIDA. AIDA could also sort out the implanted ion possition and time, with precission. The filtered out gamma-rays could be used to measure nuclear energy levels precisely by the high resolution HPGe detectors, while the nuclear level lifetimes could be measured using LaBr3 scintillator detectors of the FATIMA array. Some interesting development in the Phase-0 programme has already been observed by studying the basic nuclear structure phenomena in exotic nuclei south west to the “N=Z=50” line. In future, the neutron delayed gamma-ray spectroscopic studies would be possible using the MONSTER detectors. In summary, with a multidimensional system for particle and gamma spectroscopy, the DESPEC setup once placed at the final focal plane of FRS/SUPER-FRS of the GSI-FAIR accelarator complex, is a robust tool to explore the nuclear landscape,.
