Description
The international Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research in Europe (FAIR) is the largest fundamental science facility under construction worldwide. FAIR has been founded by Finland, France, Germany, India, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovenia and Sweden. From 2018 onwards, FAIR will provide unique opportunities for cutting-edge research in nuclear, hadron and particle physics, atomic and anti-matter science, high density plasmas and applications in condensed matter, biology and the bio-medical- and material sciences. A global community of 3000 scientists from 51 countries prepare for outstanding research in the APPA, CBM, NUSTAR and PANDA detector collaborations. A cutting edge accelerator complex with eight storage and superconducting synchrotron rings and several linacs is constructed with the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt, Germany.
