The future international accelerator Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR)
will deliver relativistic beams of both stable and unstable heavy nuclei of highest intensities.
The central part of FAIR consists of two superconducting synchrotrons which
will accelerate heavy ion beams up to uranium for experiments at energies up to 35
GeV per nucleon, and for the production of radioactive ion beams and antiprotons.
The existing GSI accelerators UNILAC and SIS will serve as injector. A complex system
of storage rings is equipped with beam cooling, internal targets, and deceleration
facilities. The presentation provides information about the current concept and design
status with special focus on future installations and possibilities for research activities
in atomic physics, material science, biophysics and other interdisciplinary fields.
