International Conference on Science and Technology for FAIR in Europe 2014

Large-scale nuclear physics facilities in the world are over-viewed, following the discussions at “Nuclear Science Symposium” in May 2013 at IFNF Frascati, organized by the IUPAP Working Group 9 whose major task is to sketch a world-wide framework for the key issues in nuclear science research for the next 10 to 20 years. Up to now experimental nuclear physics has advanced based on firm...

The FAIR accelerators should increase the intensity of primary proton and heavy ion beams available for the production of secondary beams by up to two orders of magnitude, relative to the existing GSI facility. In addition to the design of the synchrotron SIS100 and the storage rings, the intensity upgrade of the existing UNILAC and SIS18 plays a key role for the FAIR project. As a first...
