If two different, single ions are [...] at GSI. With aid of the HITRAP ion trap setup, which is part of FAIR’s APPA experiment pillar, it is planned to determine the binding energies of electrons in heavy ions with different charge states to [...] determined exactly. To perform the helium measurement, the scientists used the so-called LIONTRAP (Light-Ion Trap), located at the University of Mainz and developed and built within a collaboration of the Max

The major advantage of this method is that the ion beams, which have [...] widespread medical application. As a pioneer of heavy ion therapy in Europe, GSI has become a central research center in this field today. The novel heavy ion therapy was pioneered in joint research of the GSI [...] treatment with heavy ions had initially been conducted as early as December 1997. This had been preceded by four years of technical development of the therapy unit at the heavy-ion accelerator of GSI, which
