Quark Matter 2025: Visit to GSI/FAIR
11.04.2025 |
More than 50 conference delegates of the XXXI. Quark Matter Conference participated in a visit to GSI/FAIR. The Quark Matter, one of the world's largest specialist conferences on ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions, took place in Frankfurt this year. During the excursion to Darmstadt, which took place in the framework of the conference program, the participants gained insights into the existing accelerator facilities and experiments of GSI as well as into the construction project FAIR.
In an introductory lecture, Professor Silvia Masciocchi, head of the ALICE research department at GSI/FAIR, informed the guests about the research activities at GSI and the FAIR construction project. During a tour of the campus, the conference participants learned more about the activities at the experimental storage ring ESR, in tumor therapy and biophysics, as well as at the large-scale experiments HADES and R3B. The superconducting magnets for the FAIR Super Fragment Separator (Super-FRS), the innovative high-performance computing center Green IT Cube and the main control room of the accelerator facility were also part of the program.
Finally, the participants joined a bus tour of the FAIR construction site to take a look at the newly constructed buildings for experiments and accelerator facilities. (CP)
