View of the SN-100-Experiment at the GSI

Caption: This is a view of the experiment at the GSI from a perspective against the beam direction. The fragments are stopped at the center of a "hedgehog" of 105 liquid nitrogen-cooled gamma ray detectors, where the precise time point of the beta decay and the released decay energy are measured.
