Abstract :
A new LINAG accelerator is developed for production of high intensity deuteron beam for the SPIRAL2 project. It will also deliver unprecedented high intensity stable beams that can be used for direct reactions on a target. The Super Separator Spectrometer (S3) is designed to open with these beams new horizons for the physics of rare nuclei and low production cross-section nuclei at the extreme limits of the nuclear chart. The S3 focal-plane detection is one of the major equipments in this framework. A research and development program has been launched in order to get the best setup according to the three main physics cases: Synthesis of new Super Heavy Elements, Spectroscopy of Very and Super Heavy Elements and Spectroscopy of neutron-deficient nuclei around 100Sn.
