The article provides an overview of the Super-FRS instrument at the FAIR facility and its capabilities for studying exotic nuclei. The Super-FRS is equipped with various detector systems and has the unique feature of placing ancillary detectors between magnetic stages, allowing for new experimental opportunities. The article also mentions planned experiments in hadron physics and the search for superheavy nuclei beyond the proton drip-line. Overall, the article emphasizes the importance of these experiments in advancing our understanding of nuclear physics and the potential for groundbreaking discoveries at FAIR.

Graphical abstract: Display Omitted Highlights: [•] An overview of MR-TOF-MS developments for the research with short-lived nuclei is given. [•] For the first time a comprehensive review of different instrumental approaches and solutions for MR-TOF-MS is made. [•] A novel performance criterion for the measurement of exotic nuclei is suggested and applied to compare the performance MR-TOF-MS to that of the established technique of TOF-ICR. [•] The MR-TOF-MS for the Low-Energy Branch of the Super-FRS at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) and its performance is presented. [•] Applications of MR-TOF-MS at accelerator facilities as well as their scientific potential outside the field of nuclear physics are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
