NUSTAR plans at FAIR Reiner Krücken for the NUSTAR collaboration Physik Department E12 Technische Universität München & Maier-Leibnitz-Laboratorium für Kern- und Teilchenphysik R.Krücken
Long Standing Questions of Nuclear Structure Physics • What are the limits for existence of nuclei? • Where are the proton and neutron drip lines situated? • Where does Mendeleyev’s table end? • How does the nuclear force depend on varying proton-to-neutron ratios? • What is the isospin dependence of the spin-orbit force? • How does shell structure change far away from stability? • How to explain collective phenomena from individual motion? • What are the relevant degrees of freedom and symmetries of the many-body system? • How are complex nuclei built from their basic constituents? • What is the effective nucleon-nucleon interaction? • How does it connect to QCD? • What are the nuclei relevant for astrophysical processes and what are their properties?
