The GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH plans the new accelerator facility FAIR for the research with ion andantiproton beams, in cooperation with their users and an international community. With the new project GSI aims at providing scientists in Europe and the world with an outstanding accelerator and experimental facility for studying matter at the level of atoms, atomic nuclei, protons and neutrons as the building blocks of nuclei - and part of a wider family called hadrons - and the subnuclear constituents called quarks and gluons.

The heart of the new facility is a superconducting synchrotron double ring facility with a circumference of about 1,100 meters. A system of cooling and storage rings for effective beam cooling at high energies and various experimental halls will be connected to the facility. The accelerator will yield ion beams with highest beam intensity and high beam energies. Moreover, the facility will offer the possibility to provide high quality beams of antiprotons and ions for the experimental program.
