particles and heavy ions more than a kilometer long and is presently under construction at the site of GSI in Darmstadt. Particles and heavy ions such as antiprotons, gold and lead ions can be accelerated [...] Darmstadt (TUDa), the Justus-Liebig University Giessen (JLU) and the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt (GSI). In total more than 50 professors and principal investigators from these [...] HFHF research programme includes moreover applied research, for which the accelerated particles and ions will be used to develop new materials and to further develop proven cancer therapies through irradiation
