FAIR Antiproton Accelerator MIssion Features, Objective Darmstadt, Germany
Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) Accelerator History, Features, Objectives, Countries in Research
FAIR is a new international accelerator facility for the research with antiprotons and ions to perform research in the fields of nuclear, hadron and particle physics, atomic and anti-matter physics, high-density plasma physics, and applications in condensed matter physics, biology and biomedical sciences.
It is ready to be built within the coming years near Darmstadt in Hesse, Germany. It will be built in cooperation with an international community of countries and scientists. Evolution of the universe, the structure of matter and its building blocks will be approached with the physics at FAIR.
The new facility, where various physics programs can be operated in parallel, will offer outstanding research opportunities and discovery potential for about 3000 scientists from about 50 countries. The important equipment for this project from India is to be supplied, which will cost more than 270Cr.
In the Research Protons will be used either to produce antiproton beams by directing them on a dedicated production target or directly used for experiments within APPA. These antiprotons will be captured and cooled in the Collector Ring, CR (and RESR when available) before being injected into HESR, where they will be utilized within the PANDA experiment.
This project is realized by partners from Finland, France, Germany, India, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovenia and Sweden that have signed an international treaty, the FAIR Convention, which formally entered into force in March 2014.
