Experiments

SIS experiments

FOPI Detector

The FOPI detector has documented the investigation of the collisions. As suggested by the name - FOPI stands for 4pi a synonym for the entire solid angle-this detector detects, identifies, and determines the momentum of all charged particles emitted in a heavy-ion reaction.

KaoS Spectrometer

KaoS is concerned with the study of kaons anti-kaons in dense nuclear matter. The American Physical Society has cited the Kaos results to be among the ten "top physics stories" in particle, nuclear and plasma physics in 1998.

HADES Detector

In order to investigate the phenomenon of the modification of hadron properties in nuclear matter, the new electron-positron pair spectrometer HADES is presently being set up at GSI by an international collaboration of 19 institutions from 9 European countries.

SPS Experiments

Na49 Detector

NA49 is a large acceptance magnetic and tracking spectrometer, detecting about 70% of all created charged particles simultaneously in each event. Up to about 1200 hadrons are recorded and identified in Pb+Pb collisions.

CERES Detector

CERES is one of the second generation heavy ion experiments at CERN SPS. It is dedicated to the study of e+e- pairs and hadrons in relativistic nuclear collisions.

LHC Experiment

ALICE Detector

ALICE, A Large Ion Collider Experiment, aims to study the physics of strongly interacting matter at extreme energy densities, where the formation of a new phase of matter, the quark-gluon plasma, is expected. The existence of such a phase and its properties are a key issue in QCD for the understanding of confinement and of chiral-symmetry restoration.
