The WASA 4{pi} detector at the Svedberg Laboratory in Uppsala is now being commissioned. This detector will make possible new detailed studies of many interesting rare processes in intermediate energy light-ion physics. WASA is built around a new target system, providing well-defined internal hydrogen (and deuterium) targets of high density. It has a detection coverage of close to 4{pi} sr for high-energy photons and charged particles, and it includes a strong magnetic field provided by an extremely thin-walled superconducting solenoid.
