GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung

GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH operates a large, in many aspects worldwide unique accelerator facility for heavy-ion beams. The research program at GSI covers a broad range of activities extending from nuclear and atomic physics to plasma and materials research to biophysics and cancer therapy. Well-known is the discovery of six new chemical elements. Challenging new accelerators will be built in the FAIR project which will take place with international collaboration partners within the next years.
