The present UNILAC/SIS18complex serves as injector for the new double-ring synchr.


The present and future The present and future facilityfacility

The present and future The present and future facilityfacility

The future facility extends the present ring system, which is used as injector.

The core of the new system is a high energy double-ring system. The first ring rapidly accelerates beams to 100 Tm rigidity using fast-cycling superconducting magnets (4T/s) and 2T maximum magnetic field strenght.

The second ring accelerates at a slower rate ( 1T/s) to above 200 Tm using high-field cosine-theta type iron-free superconducting magnets (RHIC type).

The double ring system is the key to the parallel operation between ion and hadron beams


Physics opportunities:Physics opportunities:Physics opportunities:Physics opportunities:1) intense secondary beams ( 1-2 GeV/u) of short lived nuclei for studies in nuclear structure physics , nuclear astrophysics and fundamental simmetries and interactions;

2) intense secondary beams of antiprotons ( 15 GeV/c ) for studies of quark and gluon degrees of freedom in hadrons extending the reach for hadronic states (resonances) up to and well above the region of (bound) charmed quarks

3) high-energy beams of heavy nuclei (20-30 GeV/u) for nucleus-nucleus collisions and studies of dense nuclear matter

4) intense, short (50 nsec) pulses of ion beams at medium energy ( 1 GeV/c) for studies of (macroscopic) bulk matter at elevated temperatures ( 10 - 100 eV), pressures (Gbar) and densities ( 5 - 10 normal).


GSI complementary to RHIC and GSI complementary to RHIC and LHCLHC

GSI complementary to RHIC and GSI complementary to RHIC and LHCLHC

A schematic phase diagram of strongly interacting matter. The net baryon density is the density of baryons minus the density of antibaryons. Nuclear matter exists in different phases as function of temp. and density.

The entire high-density area of the phase diagram is unexplored. At very high densities and low temperatures, beyond the deconfinement transition, a new phase is expected, where the quarks are correlated and form a color superconductor. At the ‘critical point’ the deconfinement/ chiral phase transition is predicted to change its character. The research program at the new facility at GSI aims for the exploration of the high-density area of the phase diagram. This approach is complementary to the investigations performed at the CERN-SPS, the RHIC facility at Brookhaven, USA, at the future LHC facility (ALICE project) at CERN.


Science motivation for the antiproton Science motivation for the antiproton beam:beam:

Science motivation for the antiproton Science motivation for the antiproton beam:beam:

1) extended spectroscopy of charmonium and more detailed understanding of the confinement potential;

2) the role of gluons through searches for and studies of gluonic hybrids (and possibly glueballs) involving charmed quarks;

3) the extension of studies of meson properties in the nuclear medium into the charmed sector and related to that, the question of chiral simmetry restoration;

4) the study of multi-hyperon nuclear states.

50 MeV Proton Linac for proton injection. To obtain an antiproton production rate of 1.6 x 107 s-1. Total length < 20m.

SIS18 as Proton Energy and Intensity Booster: to boost the proton energy to 1 GeV and have 2x1013 protons per SIS100-cycle.

Proton and antiproton acceleration in SIS100: accelerate protons to the antiproton production energy of 28 GeV and also accelerate the antiproton beam (after cooling and accumulation at about 3 GeV) to the desired energy for experiments in HESR. Stochastically cooled antiprotons in the NESR are rebunched and injected into SIS100 in reverse direction. Accelerated antiproton bunches are transferred to HESR.

Schematic layout of the two-ring synchrotron facility. Both rings have acircumference of 1083.60 m with six straight sections.

Tunnel cross-section for the two-ring synchrotron facility. The tunnel is located at a depth of 24 m.


SIS100/200SIS100/200SIS100/200SIS100/200The goal of the first synchrotron ring (B = 100 Tm) is toachieve intense pulsed (1012 ions/pulse) uranium (q = 28+) beams at 1 GeV/u and intense pulsed (2.5 × 1013 ) proton beams at 29 GeV.

Both, heavy-ion and proton beams can be compressed into 50 ns bunches required for the production and subsequent storage and efficient cooling of exotic nuclei and antiprotons. The short intense ion bunches are also required for plasma physics experiments.

The 200 Tm ring can provide high-energy ion beams with maximum energies around 30 GeV/u for Ne10+ beams and close to 23 GeV/u for fully stripped U92+ beams. The maximum intensities that are possible in this mode are 5 x 1010 ions per second.

A radioactive ion beam (blue) for fixed target experiments is produced with a slowly extracted primary beam from SIS200. In parallel, a proton beam (brown) produces antiprotons in the target. These are collected and subsequently cooled in CR/NESR, accelerated in SIS100, and fed into HESR for experiments.Additionally, at a very low repetition rate a bunched beam for plasma physics (green) may be provided.

Cost estimateCost estimateCost estimateCost estimate

The estimate of the total cost of the facility is 675 MEur. Of these: 225 MEuro for civil construction and infrastruct.

265 MEuro for accelerator components and 185 MEuro for instrumentation and detectors.

These costs include all manpower costs for commercial activities, in particular civil construction and fabrication by industry of various components and sub-systems, including installation, some testing and quality assurance.

The cost does not include redirected manpower from GSI (120 FTE positions on average for the duration of facility construction) and new (permanent and temporary) staff (140 FTE) for engineering design, procurement, assembly, on-line testing and commissioning and for project management.

“Federal Research Minister Edelgard Bulmahn presented her plans:......Together with European partners, the Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung (GSI) in Darmstadt is to develop further its equipment in a phased approach andbecome a leading European physics centre. At least 25% of the costs amounting to €675 million are to be shouldered by foreign partners. “
