Description
The High-Energy Storage Ring (HESR) is part of the upcoming International Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) at GSI in Darmstadt. The HESR is dedicated to the field of high-energy antiproton physics to explore the research areas of charmonium spectroscopy, hadronic structure, and quark-gluon dynamics with high-quality beams over a broad momentum range from 1.5 to 15 GeV/c. An important feature of this new facility is the combination of powerful phase-space cooled beams and thick internal targets (e.g., pellet targets) to reach the demanding requirements of the internal target experiment PANDA in terms of beam quality and luminosity. The accelerator layout, the status of technical planning and related beam dynamics issues are presented and discussed.
