Overview

Research at FAIR

FAIR Research

The mission of the international FAIR particle accelerator facility in Darmstadt is to unravel unsolved secrets regarding the structure of matter and the evolution of the Universe. To achieve this, researchers at FAIR are striking out in new directions with their experiments.

NUSTAR Public
NUSTAR - Stars and nuclei. Nuclear Structure Astrophysics and Reactions. Experiments with atomic nuclei are the key to understanding stars.
CBM Public
CBM - Inside a neutron star. Compressed Baryonic Matter. The collision of atomic nuclei at high speeds can simulate the conditions inside supermassive objects for a split second.
PANDA Public
PANDA - Antimatter research. Antiproton Annihilation at Darmstadt. How can antimatter help us understand the mass of matter and the strong force?
APPA Public
APPA - From atoms and planets to cancer therapy. Atomic, Plasma Physics and Applications. From the investigation of atoms and macroscopic effects in materials or tissues all the way to engineering and medical applications.
