Facilities

Scientists at HIM can profit from the excellent research infrastructure, both at the campus of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz as well as of the Helmholtz Center for Heavy Ion Research (GSI), Darmstadt.
 

HIM:

• High Performance Computing Cluster
• Assembly Unit for High Purity Superconducting Accelerator Cavities

JGU Mainz:

• Mainz Microtron Facility MAMI
  - electron accelerator -
   
• Mainz-Energy-Recovering Superconducting Accelerator MESA (under construction)
  
   
• Research Reactor at Mainz TRIGA
  - source of neutrons -
   

Helmholtz Center for Heavy Ion research (GSI), Darmstadt:

• GSI operates one of the most powerful accelerators facilities of the world. It is the only facility that allows the acceleration of ions – ions are charged atoms – of all chemical elements occurring on Earth.

  Six main devices are indispensable to provide the experiments at GSI with heavy ions:
  • the ion sources
  • the linear accelerator UNILAC
  • the ring accelerator SIS18
  • the storage ring ESR
  • the fragment separator FRS
  • the main control room
