FAIR is Started — •Dieter Krämer — GSI Darmstadt

On November 7, 2007 the International Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) was launched by representatives of the fourteen member states at GSI.

Fed by the GSI accelerator chain as injector, FAIR will be centred around two high intensity heay-ion-synchrotrons, used to generate the full span of stable beams (protons to Uranium) as well as rare isotope (RIBs) and antiproton beams at unprecedented intensities and beam quality. Two storage rings (HESR and NESR), both equipped with stochastic and electron cooling, will serve in hadron- and in-ring atomic physics experiments. Dedicated detectors (e.g. PANDA, CBM) together with numerous fixed target experiments, will open new fields in hadron-, nuclear-, atomic-, plasma- and applied physics, allowing for a multifaceted forefront science program.

Finalizing the preparatory phase in 2007, most relevant prototying successfully prepared the way to start production of components. FAIR will be constructed within an international effort involving the expertize and resources from the members laboratories and industries, distributing and sharing the work packages.

Status of the project will be given. The design of the accelerator complex will be reviewed, expected machine performance reported.
