the acceleration of ions – ions are charged atoms – of all chemical elements occurring on Earth. One facility, thousand possibilities Electrical fields are used to accelerate the ions. Magnets direct and [...] and focus them. The ions can be accelareted up to about 90% of the speed of light, i.e. 270,000 km/s. Scientists from all over the world use the accelerated ions for experiments in various fields of research [...] therapy. © GSI Six main devices are indispensable to provide the experiments at GSI with heavy ions: the ion sources the linear accelerator UNILAC the ring accelerator SIS18 the storage ring ESR the fragment
