The MINOS' third newsletter is now available and can be downloaded.

From February 25 to March 1, 2013 the NUSTAR Collaboration held their annual collaboration meeting at GSI. Over 150 international participants discussed recent research highlights from experiments at GSI and other labs.

In November 2012 the first 150 sub-modules of NeuLAND were exposed to fast "mono-energetic" neutrons in Cave C at GSI.

A prototype of the cryogenic stopping cell (CSC) and the multiple-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrometer (MR-TOF-MS) for the Low-Energy Branch (LEB) of the Super-FRS at FAIR have recently been commissioned at the FRS at GSI.

The NUSTAR Collaboration met in Kolkata, India, from October 8-12 to hold the NUSTAR Week 2012, this time hosted by the Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre (VECC) in Kolkata.

The MINOS (acronym for MagIc Numbers Off Stability) development enters its last year. The major parts of the device are now existing in a prototype stage.

First tests of the readily mounted cold mass with the coils are foreseen at CEA Saclay in August/September 2012.

MINOS, acronym for MagIc Numbers Off Stability, represents both a physics program and a device. The physics program aims at investigating the properties of the in-medium NN interaction through the spectroscopy of the most exotic nuclei produced at fragmentation facilities.

STFC media representatives Stephanie Hills and Wendy Ellison and The Times journalist Tom Whipple visited GSI/FAIR together with Prof. Paddy Regan from Surrey University to receive first hand information on the FAIR project and NUSTAR in particular.
