GSI and FAIR are a new member of the non-profit organization RI.Logistica which aims to “get science in place” by providing tools, infrastructure and standards for logistics. In operating and upgrading the existing GSI accelerators and experiments as well as building, installing and commissioning our future FAIR research facilities, GSI/FAIR are facing colossal logistical challenges. Some of those are unique, some are common to several research infrastructures, which allows for synergies.
Researchers of the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung and the Technical University in Darmstadt, together with an international team, succeeded in producing and detecting the long-sought atomic nucleus oxygen-28 for the first time. The experiment was conducted at the Japanese research center RIKEN. A decisive factor was the first-time use of the meter-high neutron detector NeuLAND, which weighs several tons and was developed for the future accelerator center FAIR ...
