description

The compelling scientific goals of future nuclear physics experiments demand significant advances in detector technology. Nuclear physics opportunities at future facility FAIR have never been so bright, but the detector challenges must be met. With the essential questions concerning nuclear structure and dynamics, nuclear astrophysics, limits of nuclear stability, tests of fundamental interactions and symmetries all being realistic targets of studies of exotic nuclei, detector development efforts are strongly motivated. Several examples of developments for future fixed target experiments as well as experiments at storage ring are outlined.
