FAIR and GSI mourn for Prof Guenther Rosner, a passionate physicist, co-founder of FAIR and relentless supporter of the FAIR project. He passed away on 21 March 2026 in the age of 77 years.

The student space association TU Darmstadt Space Technology e.V. (TUDSaT) has successfully completed the assembly of the TRACE satellite in the cleanroom environment of GSI/FAIR’s detector laboratory. The satellite also carries detectors from GSI/FAIR, which are designed to measure charged particles in orbit.

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…
