On 24 March 2026, in a world first, a team of scientists from the BASE experiment at CERN, including GSI researchers, successfully transported a trap filled with antiprotons in a truck across the Laboratory’s main site. The team managed to accumulate a cloud of antiprotons in an innovative portable cryogenic Penning trap, then disconnect it from the experimental facility, load it onto a truck and continue experiment operation after transport. This is a remarkable achievement, given that…

The Technical University of Applied Sciences Mittelhessen (THM) and GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt intend to collaborate more closely in the field of particle therapy. A corresponding collaboration agreement was recently signed by both partners. The goal is to improve particle therapy both for the Marburg Ion Beam Therapy Center (MIT) and centers worldwide, as well as to support translational and basic research like it is conducted at the GSI/FAIR accelerator facilities.

During the ALICE Masterclass on the GSI/FAIR campus, again this year 19 high-school students had the opportunity to analyze data from the ALICE experiment at the CERN research center. GSI/FAIR significantly contributes to the construction, operation and data analysis of ALICE. Scientists of GSI/FAIR’s ALICE research department organized the event.
