NUSTAR Week 2016 in York

19.10.2016 | 

The NUSTAR Collaboration met in York, UK, from September 26 to 30 during the NUSTAR Week 2016. This was the 8th meeting in a series after the meetings in Dubna (2009), Lund (2010), Bucharest (2011), Kolkata (2012), Helsinki (2013), Valencia (2014), and Warsaw (2015) this time hosted by the University of York at the King’s Manor.

More than 80 scientists attended the NUSTAR Week 2016, this time focusing on the Phase-0 program of NUSTAR. The meeting started with sub-collaboration meetings of Super-FRS Experiment, HISPEC/DESPEC, and MATS/LaSpec, where technical issues, status of construction and planning as well as plans for Phase-0 operation at GSI or other facilities were discussed. This was followed by two days of plenary sessions with status reports and news on latest scientific results.

The new organizational structure of GSI/FAIR and the substantial progress of the FAIR project were positively recognized by the attendees and intensified the interest in NUSTAR Phase-0 experiments at the upgraded GSI facility from 2018 onwards.
