Annual Meeting of the ErUM-FSP APPA 2026

The High Energy Density Science at FAIR (HED@FAIR) collaboration is continuing to prepare for the experimental program of First Science ++ in the APPA cave. Experiments at the existing GSI facilities play a vital role in preparing the experiments and in the commissioning and testing of experimental equipment. In my presentation I will give an overview of the recent experimental activities and outline the next steps in the preparation of the FAIR experiments.
