The superconducting, heavy ion synchrotron SIS100 is the core of the new FAIR facility at GSI, Darmstadt, Germany. Its unique design is dedicated to the acceleration of intermediate charge state heavy ions. Several new technical approaches assure the stabilization of the vacuum dynamics and the minimization of charge related beam loss. Beside high intensity heavy ions, SIS100 will accelerate all ions from Protons to Uranium, and in spite of the fact that superconducting magnets are used, SIS100 shall be as flexible in ramping and cycling as a normal conducting synchrotron.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
