RECENT RESULTS FROM FRS EXPERIMENTS WITH EXOTIC NUCLEI PRODUCED WITH URANIUM PROJECTILES AND PERSPECTIVES WITH THE SUPER-FRS

Relativistic exotic nuclei have been produced via uranium projectile fragmentation and fission and investigated with the in-flight separator FRS directly, or in combination with either the storage-cooler ring ESR or the FRS Ion Catcher. 60 neutron-rich isotopes have been discovered in the element range from Nd to Pt and their production cross sections have been measured. In another experimental campaign the fragments were separated in flight and injected into the storage-cooler ring ESR for accurate mass and lifetime measurements. Pioneering experiments have been carried out with the FRS Ion Catcher. Results from these different FRS experiments will be presented in this overview together with perspectives for the next-generation facility Super-FRS.
