International Conference on Science and Technology for FAIR in Europe 2014

As a unique approach to investigate the dynamical response of atomic systems, our group has been involved in the selective excitation of the heavy atomic ions in the x-ray energy domain making use of a thin single crystal. The relativistic ions are guided in the silicon single crystal, and excited by a temporally oscillating strong Coulomb field arising from the periodical atomic arrangement....

In this talk I will discuss potential plasma physics experiments at the FAIR facility with an emphasis on high energy density physics and warm dense matter. I will discuss some of the plasma physics carried out at other facilities with the aim of showing how the unique features of the FAIR facility will enable it to compete on an international stage.

The upcoming Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR), currently under construction at the Helmholtz Center for Heavy-Ion Research GSI (Darmstadt, Germany), will offer heavy ion beams at unprecedented intensities. One of the research pillars within the multi-facetted scientific program at FAIR is the area of dense plasmas. A variety of schemes has been proposed to generate matter at...

The first experiments with CBM are focused on the exploration of strongly interacting matter at neutron star core densities as it will be produced in collisions between very heavy nuclei at SIS100 energies. In particular, we will study the equation-of-state of nuclear matter up to the highest baryon densities, and search for transitions to quarkyonic or quark matter. Very promising...
