APPA Physics - Atomic, Plasma Physics and Applications
APPA is an umbrella for several collaborations working on Atomic Physics, Plasma and Applied sciences. Common for all collaborations is that they share installations and experimental techniques, despite quite diverse research fields.
The following research collaborations are organized within APPA:
- BIOMAT - Biology and Material Science
- FLAIR - Facility for Low-Energy Antiproton and Heavy Ion Research
- HED@FAIR - High Energy Density Science at FAIR
- SPARC - Stored Particles Atomic Research Collaboration
Organized units and programs within APPA are:
- ErUM-FSP APPA BMBF Collaborative Research Center - programme for funding APPA research at German universities
- APPA/MML - GSI research divisions doing APPA research and part of the Helmholtz-programme "From Matter to Materials and Life".

The first FAIR storage ring, the so-called CRYRING, is ready to conduct experiments for the scientific research community. CRYRING is an extremely successful ion storage ring that has enabled key research contributions in atomic and molecular physics in Stockholm for many years. It was brought to GSI and FAIR in Darmstadt as a Swedish in-kind contribution. Here it was modernized, adapted to FAIR standards and connected to the experimental storage ring ESR at GSI under the project name…

During the September 2017 beam time a major milestone has been achieved for commissioning the low energy storage ring facility CRYRING@ESR. Single charged hydrogen molecules, H2+ ions, were produced in the local ion source, accelerated to 300 keV/nucleon, injected into CRYRING@ESR, stored and accelerated up to 1 MeV/nucleon. This is a major step on the way towards experiments at CRYRING with slow, heavy, highly charged ions as part of the FAIR Phase Zero physics program and beyond.
Since 2013…
