The ambitious scientific program to produce and study super heavy nuclei or neutron deficient nuclei close to the proton drip-line via fusion evaporation has led to the development of a new separator spectrometer: S3. The Super Separator Spectrometer (S3) facility is developed in the framework of the SPIRAL2 project. S3 has been designed to perform experiments with extremely low cross sections, taking advantage of the very high intensity stable beams of the superconducting linear accelerator of SPIRAL2.
The development of S3 has required to overcome multiple technological challenges: the construction of a powerful recoil separator with high mass resolution and large transmission capabilities; a high efficiency detection systems; a target able to support the high intense heavy ion-beams needed to access very low cross section reactions (picobarn). S3 is now in its final phase of construction and will soon be operational. In parallel, SIRIUS, a new focal plane detector has been developed, in order to detect rare ions such as super heavy elements.
In this talk will be presented the status of the project, the comparison with the different world laboratories where the production of super heavy elements is now possible and the physics intended to be performed in the next future.
