The GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt operates a worldwide leading accelerator facility for research purposes.

At GSI, FAIR is currently being built, an international accelerator facility for the research with antiprotons and ions which is being developed and constructed in cooperation with international partners. It is one of the world’s largest construction projects for international cutting-edge research. The FAIR project was initiated by the scientific community and researchers of GSI. The GSI accelerators will become part of the future FAIR facility and serve as the first acceleration stage.

During the guided tour, an introductory lecture offers you an overview of the facilities and the current research at GSI and in the future at FAIR. Afterwards tour through the facility will take you to selected points of interest and you can have a look at the FAIR construction site. The total duration is approx. 2 hours.

A bus is going to take you directly from the conference to GSI and back to Darmstadt city centre after the tour.
