The HypHI collaboration aims to perform a precise hypernuclear spectroscopy with stable heavy ion beams and rare isotope beams at GSI and fAIR in order to study hypernuclei at extreme isospin, especially neutron rich hypernuclei to look insight hyperon-nucleon interactions in the neutron rich medium, and hypernuclear magnetic moments to investigate baryon properties in the nuclei. We are currently preparing for the first experiment with $^6$Li and $^{12}$C beams at 2 AGeV to demonstrate the feasibility of a precise hypernuclear spectroscopy by identifying $^{3}_{Lambda}$H, $^{4}_{Lambda}$H and $^{5}_{Lambda}$He. The first physics experiment on these hypernuclei is planned for 2009. In the present document, an overview of the HypHI project and the details of this first experiment will be discussed.

The Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR), an international accelerator centre, is under construction in Darmstadt, Germany. FAIR will provide high-intensity primary beams of protons and heavy-ions, and intense secondary beams of antiprotons and of rare short-lived isotopes. These beams, together with a variety of modern experimental setups, will allow to perform a unique research program on nuclear astrophysics, including the exploration of the nucleosynthesis in the universe, and the exploration of QCD matter at high baryon densities, in order to shed light on the properties of neutron stars, and the dynamics of neutron star mergers. The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at FAIR will investigate collisions between heavy nuclei, and measure various diagnostic probes, which are sensitive to the high-density equation-of-state (EOS), and to the microscopic degrees-of-freedom of high-density matter. The CBM physics program will be discussed.
The degree of freedom of spin in quantum systems serves as an unparalleled laboratory where intriguing quantum physical properties can be observed, and the ability to control spin is a powerful tool in physics research. We propose a novel method for
controlling spin in a system of rare isotopes which takes advantage of the mechanism of the projectile fragmentation reaction combined with the momentum-dispersion matching technique. The present method was verified in an experiment at the RIKEN RI Beam Factory, in which a degree of alignment of 8% was achieved for the spin of a rare isotope Al-32. The figure of merit for the present method was found to be greater than that of the conventional method by a factor of more than 50.
In this review article we discuss the present status of direct nuclear reactions and the nuclear structure aspects one can study with them. We discuss the spectroscopic information we can assess in experiments involving transfer reactions, heavy-ion-induced knockout reactions and quasifree scattering with (p,2p), (p,pn), and (e,ep) reactions. In particular, we focus on the proton-to-neutron asymmetry of the quenching of the spectroscopic strength.
New measurements and reaction model calculations are reported for single neutron pickup reactions onto a fast uc{22}{Mg} secondary beam at 84 MeV per nucleon. Measurements were made on both carbon and beryllium targets, having very different structures, allowing a first investigation of the likely nature of the pickup reaction mechanism. The measurements involve thick reaction targets and $gamma$-ray spectroscopy of the projectile-like reaction residue for final-state resolution, that permit experiments with low incident beam rates compared to traditional low-energy transfer reactions. From measured longitudinal momentum distributions we show that the $ uc{12}{C} ( uc{22}{Mg}, uc{23}{Mg}+gamma)X$ reaction largely proceeds as a direct two-body reaction, the neutron transfer producing bound uc{11}{C} target residues. The corresponding reaction on the uc{9}{Be} target seems to largely leave the uc{8}{Be} residual nucleus unbound at excitation energies high in the continuum. We discuss the possible use of such fast-beam one-neutron pickup reactions to track single-particle strength in exotic nuclei, and also their expected sensitivity to neutron high-$ell$ (intruder) states which are often direct indicators of shell evolution and the disappearance of magic numbers in the exotic regime.
We studied the production of neutron-rich nuclides in multinucleon transfer collisions of stable and radioactive beams in the mass range A=40-60. We first presented our experimental cross section data of projectile fragments from the reaction of 40Ar(15 MeV/nucleon) with 64Ni, 58Ni and 27Al. We then compared them with calculations based on either the deep-inelastic transfer (DIT) model or the constrained molecular dynamics (CoMD) model, followed by the statistical multifragmentation model (SMM). An overall good agreement of the calculations with the experimental data is obtained. We continued with calculations of the reaction of 40Ar (15 MeV/nucleon) with 238U target and then with reactions of 48Ca (15 MeV/nucleon) with 64Ni and 238U targets. In these reactions, neutron-rich rare isotopes with large cross sections are produced. These nuclides, in turn, can be assumed to form radioactive beams and interact with a subsequent target (preferably 238U), leading to the production of extremely neutron-rich and even new isotopes (e.g. 60Ca) in this mass range. We conclude that multinucleon transfer reactions with stable or radioactive beams at the energy of around 15 MeV/nucleon offer an effective route to access extremely neutron-rich rare isotopes for nuclear structure or reaction studies.
