  30. NEW Facility • An“International Accelerator Facility for Beams of Ions and Antiprotons”: • Top priority of German hadron and nuclear physics community (KHuK-report of 9/2002) and NuPECC • Favourable evaluation by highest German science • committee (“Wissenschaftsrat” in 2002) • Funding decision from German government in • 2/2003 – staging and at least 25% foreign funding • to be build at GSI Darmstadt; • should be finished in > 2011 (depending on start) • FAIR • (Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research)

  31. Facilty for Antiproton and Ion Research (GSI, Darmstadt, Germany) • Proton linac (injector) • 2 synchrotons (30 GeV p) • A number of storage rings •  Parallel beams operation

  32. FAIR – Prospects and Challenges • FAIR is a facility, which will serve a large part of the nuclear physics community (and beyond): • Nuclear structure  Radioactive beams • Dense Matter  Relativistic ion beams • Hadronic Matter  Antiprotons, (polarized) • Atomic physics • Plasma physics • FAIR will need a significant fraction of the available man-power and money in the years to come: • 1 G€  10 000 man-years = 100 “man” for 100 years • or (1000 x 10) • FAIR will have a long lead-time (construction, no physics) •  staging (3 phases)

The Antiproton Facility HESR (High Energy Storage Ring) • Length 442 m • Bρ = 50 Tm • N = 5 x 1010 antiprotons High luminosity mode • Luminosity = 2 x 1032 cm-2s-1 • Δp/p ~ 10-4 (stochastic-cooling) High resolution mode • Δp/p ~ 10-5 (8 MV HE e-cooling) • Luminosity = 1031 cm-2s-1 SIS100/300 HESR Super FRS CR Gas Target and Pellet Target: cooling power determines thickness NESR Antiproton Production Target Beam Cooling: e- and/or stochastic 2MV prototype e-cooling at COSY • Antiproton production similar to CERN • Production rate107/sec at 30 GeV • T = 1.5 - 15 GeV/c(22 GeV)

  35. HESR AP The New Polarization Facility • Conceptual Design Report for FAIR did not include Spin Physics: • Jan. ’04: 2 Letters of Intent for Spin Physics • ASSIA (R. Bertini) • PAX (P. Lenisa, FR) • WE NEED MORE COLLABORATORS! 210 collaborators 25 institutions

  36. LoI‘s for Spin Physics at FAIR SIS100/300 External:ASSIA Extracted beam on PET (Compass-like) Internal:PAX in HESR Polarized antiprotons + PIT

  37. Evaluation by QCD Program Advisory Committee (July 2004) • STI Report: • Your LoI has convinced the QCD-PAC • that Polarization must be included into the design of FAIR from the beginning, and • that the presently proposed scheme is not optimized as to the physics. You […] are invited and encouraged to design a world-class facility with unequalled degree of polarization of antiprotons. • Common Report: • […] The PAC considers the spin physics of extreme interest and the building of an antiproton polarized beam as a unique possibility for the FAIR Project. • […] The unique physics opportunities, made possible with polarized antiproton beams and/or polarized target are extremely exciting, especially in double spin measurements. • […] It would be very unfortunate if decisions about the facility, made now, later preclude the science.
