I NSTITUTE FOR S TRUCTURE AND N UCLEAR A STROPHYSICS N UCLEAR S CIENCE L ABORATORY New Equipment for new Initiatives ARUNA Meeting- June 12, 2014 Superconducting Solenoid for Nuclear Astrophysics: SSNAP New injection magnet for the FN ion source upgrade To maximize the use of TWINSOL for the study of transfer reactions for quiescent and explosive stellar burning scenarios via the use of inflight radioactive beams and a new helical spectrometer (Bardayan). The upgrade of the injection system will achieve higher mass resolution for AMS of high Z isotopes; that is important for 60 Fe life time analysis, p-process studies, and several other applications (Collon).
