EXPERIMENTAL AREAS AND SITUATION AT SIS AND ESR

Recently, we had some improvements at the main accelerator based experimental areas for atomic physics, Cave A and the ESR: Cave A: The magnetic spectrometer for final charge state analysis is working. The diagnostics for the beamline from the ESR towards Cave A for low-energy ions is installed. Additional power supplies for the SIS beam lines have been installed so that the Cave A beam line can be independently operated. Now, Cave A is in full operation for future experiments both with SIS and ESR beams. ESR: The gas-jet target area is just being modified. A zero degree electron spectrometer is being mounted behind the target chamber. A recoil ion spectrometer can be inserted into the target chamber as well as alternatively an array of movable x-ray detectors. The whole arrangement will come into operation in May 2001. The operating conditions at the ESR have been improved continuously in the past. High SIS intensities and high injection efficiencies provide quickly high intensities of stored ions. Ions decelerated down to the 12 MeV/u region are available for in-ring or external experiments. This workshop and users meeting for experiments in atomic physics and related fields at both areas, Cave A and ESR (cooler and gas target section) will inform you not only on the present status, but give you a forum to bring forward your questions and the opportunity to discuss with your colleagues the future program. This is especially necessary as we need a long range planning for the different types of experiments, both in Cave A and at the ESR. It is not possible to frequently change the type of the experimental arrangements.

SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM

• Monday mainly to the achievements and status of the physics at ESR,
• Tuesday to the achievements and status of the physics at Cave A,
• Wednesday to the decisions on the future program for ESR and Cave A.

• detailed program

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE WORKSHOP

The Program is open for contributions.
The success of the future experimental program depends on your active participation during the workshop.

If you want to pressent

• your recent results and / or
• your future research program

please contact P dot Mokler at gsi dot de before April 12.

Workshop on CD:
Instead of a book with copies of the shown transparencies, we intend to edit a CD with all the presentations. This CD will be sent to the participant afterwards. Therefore we ask you to deliver an

• e-version of your presentation
  in pdf or ps if possible

before May 7, latest at the beginning of the workshop either via e-mail (C dot Hoelzer at gsi dot de) or by a 3.5" disc, 100MB zip or CD. Each presentation is limited to 20MB and 5 MB for invited talks and contributions, respectively. If you are unable to prepare your full presentation for electronic reproduction we appreciate very much receiving for electronic reproduction at least one page with title and abstract, as well as the essentials of your presentation and the main figures.
