FAIR-NUSTAR Technical Design Report (TDR):
In June 2008, the LYCCA technical design report was submitted to the FAIR management. On October 14th 2008 the LYCCA technical design report was approved by the FAIR scientific council based on the recommendation of the Head of Research of the FAIR Joint Core Team. It marked the first experiment related TDR of NUSTAR having received green light for construction.Subsequently, investment money was granted in both Sweden, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
