International Conference on Science and Technology for FAIR in Europe 2014

The efficient production of Secondary Beams at the FAIR facility provides, seconding increased primary beam rates, an additional corner-stone for the envisaged performance enhancements for serving the communities. In my talk I will outline recent developments and the pathway from activities at the existing installations towards the fully-fledged facility.

The program of the SPARC collaboration at FAIR is a unique research program on highly-charged heavy ions that utilizes storage ring and trapping facilities. In this talk, a short overview on various current and future activities with some emphasis on laser-related work will be given, including possibilities for experiments at the High-Energy Storage Ring HESR and the Cryring facility, which...

Knowledge of basic physical properties of matter under extreme conditions of high energy density, and in particular, of the so-called warm dense matter (WDM), such as equation-of-state, static and dynamic electrical conductivity and opacity is of fundamental importance for various branches of basic and applied physics. Intense beams of energetic heavy ions provide a unique capability for the...
