Construction of the new infrastructure (CNI) for the FAIR project

This EU project addresses crucial construction needs for the international Facility for Antiprotons and Ion Research (FAIR). FAIR is an internal target experiment with high-energy, stored and cooled secondary beams (radioactive ions and antiprotons) planned for construction in Darmstadt, Germany. The CNI project focuses on the SIS18 upgrade, on HADES, on R3B and on the overall construction.

Layout of the FAIR facility. The new accelerators and buildings (indicated in color on the right) are located east of the existing GSI facilities (shown in grey). GSI will serve as an injector for the planned FAIR facility. The CNI project focuses on SIS18 (centre left), HADES, and R3B.
