experimental storage ring ESR The experimental storage ring ESR has a circumference of 108 meters. Ions accelerated before by the linear accelerator UNILAC and the ring accelerator SIS18 can circulate in

The SIS18 can accelerate ions of all natural chemical elements of the periodic table—starting from the light hydrogen up to the heavy uranium. 270,000 kilometers per second: Ions coming from the linear [...] the SIS18. 80,000 volts: Ions in the SIS18 are accelerated by a voltage of 80,000 volts in the accelerator structures during every circulation. 416,000 circulations: The ions are accelerated in one second [...] accelerator as much medium-charged uranium ions can be accelerated as at the SIS18. one billionth Pascal: An ultra-high vacuum is a prerequisite for the acceleration. So ions almost never collide with particles

the starting point of acceleration of ions. On a length of 120 meters ions of all kinds can be accelerated up to 20 percent speed of light (60.000 km/s). The ions are used for experiments in experimental

the acceleration of ions – ions are charged atoms – of all chemical elements occurring on Earth. One facility, thousand possibilities Electrical fields are used to accelerate the ions. Magnets direct and [...] and focus them. The ions can be accelareted up to about 90% of the speed of light, i.e. 270,000 km/s. Scientists from all over the world use the accelerated ions for experiments in various fields of research [...] therapy. © GSI Six main devices are indispensable to provide the experiments at GSI with heavy ions: the ion sources the linear accelerator UNILAC the ring accelerator SIS18 the storage ring ESR the fragment
