The principal goal of the new facility is the construction of a worldwide unique and technically innovative accelerator system that will provide an extensive range of particle beams. Proton and antiproton beams will be available and ion beams of all chemical elements up to uranium will be produced with world-record intensities. The main employ of t...
There are strong theoretical arguments in favour of the existence of very light scalar or pseudoscalar particles beyond the Standard Model which have, so far, remained undetected, due to their very weak coupling to ordinary matter. We point out that after HERA has been decommissioned, there arises a unique opportunity for searches for such particle...
This thesis describes work undertaken as part of a European collaboration to investigate the feasibility of using a charge breeder to produce a beam of highly charged radioactive ions. In particular the possibility to charge breed radioactive beams using an Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Source (ECRIS) is investigated. In the charge breeder mode ...
The construction and the first use of a compact time-of-flight system for the energy-dispersive study of the interaction of fast neutrons with materials are content of a network project of the Research Center Rossendorf, to which also the Technical University Dresden contributes in the framework of a common DFG project. The planned time-of-flight e...
The GSI projectile fragment separator FRS has demonstrated with many pioneering experiments the research potential of in-flight separators at relativistic energies. Although the present facility has contributed much to the progress in the field of nuclear structure physics, major improvements are desirable in the future. The characteristics of the ...
