The GSI Accelerator Facility
UNILAC – Linear Accelerator
 UNILAC—a 120-meter long linear accelerator—accelerates the ions to 20 percent of the speed of light. More information...
SIS – Heavy Ion Synchrotron
In the heavy-ion synchrotron SIS, the ion beam is further accelerated up to 90 percent of the speed of light in the course of several hundred thousand revolutions. More information...
ESR – Experiment Storage Ring
The previously accelerated ions—whether stable or radioactive— can be stored in the experimental storage ring ESR. During this storage time, they complete several million to several billion revolutions at a constant, high speed. More information...
