to create hot, dense plasmas in bulk matter by ion beam irradiation, it is necessary to generate short, high intensity ion pulses. At the new facility, ion pulses with a power of a thousand billion watts [...] Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung Highest beam intensities The higher the intensity of the ion beams, the higher the probability that rare reactions or reaction products can be observed. By providing [...] explosions - will become available. Brilliant beam quality © GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung Ion and antiproton beams of the utmost energy sharpness are necessary in precision experiments to determine
