Pushing the limits of Spectroscopy with S3
The new SPIRAL2 LINAG accelerator, developed for production of high intensity deuteron beam, will deliver unprecedented high intensity stable beams. Used for direct reactions at the Super Separator Spectrometer (S3) target they will open new horizons for the physics of nuclei with low production crosssection and rare nuclei at the extreme limits of the nuclear chart. This article presents the research and development program launched in order to design the best setup according to the three main physics cases of this project: Synthesis of new Super Heavy Elements, Spectroscopy of Very and Super Heavy Elements and Spectroscopy of neutron-deficient nuclei around 100Sn.
