The high-energy branch of the Super-FRS:A universal setup for kinematical complete measurements of

Reactions with Relativistic Radioactive Beams

The R3B experiment:

• identification and beam "cooling" (tracking and momentum measurement, Δp/p ~10-4)

• exclusive measurement of the final state:- identification and momentum analysis of fragments

(large acceptance mode: Δp/p~10-3, high-resolution mode: Δp/p~10-4)

- coincident measurement of neutrons, protons, gamma-rays, light recoil particles

• applicable to a wide class of reactions
