NUSTAR - Nuclear Structure, Astrophysics and Reactions

The NUSTAR collaboration is devoted to the study of NUclear STructure, Astrophysics, and Reactions. More than 700 scientists from more than 170 participating institutes worldwide form the NUSTAR community. They all concentrate on the development and realization of new instrumentation and methods for future experiments at the upcoming FAIR facility. The research interest of the NUSTAR collaboration is focused on the use of beams of radioactive species separated and identified by the Superconducting FRagment Separator (Super-FRS), which is the central element of all NUSTAR experiments. This web page gives an overview of the NUSTAR@FAIR project. The current experimental program of NUSTAR at GSI Darmstadt and further information can be found here.

The NUSTAR collaboration met in Jyväskylä, Finland, from September 29 until October 1 and discussed the latest developments and status of NUSTAR.
28.05.2026
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.
Two blue-line markings on the concrete floor of the High-Energy Cave. One of them, “NHEX-GLAD-EF” will be used to align/position the flange of the GLAD magnet (NHEX is the internal nomenclature for the functional location “NUSTAR-HEC-EXPERIMENT”)
