2. Hadron and Nuclear Matter Physics at FAIR • FAIR will provide intense beams of • stored and cooled antiprotons, • slowly extracted heavy ions, • and, due to the storage and stretcher ring concept, a • a high degree of parallel running! • Two general purpose experiments will operate at interaction rates of up to 10 MHz. • New detector concept: • Self triggered detectors/read-out systems with time stamping. • Highly-parallel read-out and real-time feature extraction for higher level event selection.
