Abstract

We describe a laser spectroscopy station that has been proposed to exploit the high yields of radioactive beams at the future FAIR facility at GSI, Darmstadt. Exotic nuclei produced in the Super-Fragment-Recoil-Separator (S-FRS) are stopped in a gas cell, extracted, reaccelerated and transported to the LaSpec setup. Here, collinear spectroscopy on ions and atoms, β-NMR experiments or laser-desorbed resonance ionization can be applied to these rare isotopes.
