The GSI oscillation mystery

The GSI heavy ion microbeam

Death rate mystery

Knowing the true rate of death from covid-19 will help us fight the pandemic, but for the moment it eludes us, reports Michael Le Page.  

The Diamond Project at Gsi - Perspectives

Heavy-ion experiments at GSI cover nuclear and atomic physics, related basic and applied research in plasma physics and material science as well as biophysics including tumor therapy with carbon ions. After low-energy sections, the heavy-ion synchrotron (SIS) provides pulsed, cooled ion beams up to 2 GeV/amu of beam intensities up to 10 ions/spill. All kind of ions from protons with Z=1 to U io...

Emittance Measurements at GSI UNILAC

At GSI heavy ion beams are accelerated by the UNIversal Linear ACcelerator UNILAC (see Fig. 1) and the heavy ion synchrotron SIS 18. Heavy ion beams are delivered to the High Current Injector (HSI) from two different ion source terminals: Penning type (PIG) sources for low and MUCIS/ MEVVA type sources for high beam intensities. An RFQ and two IH structures accelerate the ions from 2.2 keV/u up...

Patient irradiations at GSI

D. Schulz-Ertner, C. Thilmann, M. Wannenmacher, J. Debus Before patient irradiations started in 1997, a radiation unit was built at the heavy ion synchrotron of the GSI and major future directed technical and radiobiological innovations have been implemented. For the first time, tumor conform application of carbon beams was realized by intensity-controlled rasterscanning with pulse-to-pulse ene...
