Nuclear-data experimental programs at GSI

At GSI, Darmstadt, an extended series of measurements on nuclear-reaction products has been performed. The work is based on an innovative experimental approach, which exploits the unique installations of GS: The accelerator complex provides heavy-ion beams at relativistic energies, while a high-resolution magnetic spectrometer is used to identify the reaction products in-flight and to determine their kinematical properties. The storage ring extends the facility to a unique place for determining the ground-state masses of exotic nuclei on large areas of the chart of the nuclides.
