The DESIR collaboration proposes the construction of a low-energy beam facility at GANIL-SPIRAL2 to study the properties of exotic nuclei in unexplored regions of the nuclide chart. Beam preparation devices including gas catchers, radiofrequency quadrupoles, high resolution separators and ion traps are under construction in order to provide high quality beams to the users. The DESIR Physics program addresses by means of complementary experimental techniques most of the current interrogations regarding the structure of exotic nuclei, the fundamental interactions driving their properties, as well as their formation in the universe.
