FAIR/GSI welcomed the Big Science Sweden • The Swedish ILO Steering Board for its General Board Meeting, marking an important milestone in Sweden’s ongoing contributions to the FAIR project. The delegation included team members, the Steering Committee, and representatives from the Swedish division of the international corporation GE HealthCare. The aim of “Big Science Sweden” is to connect Swedish industry, universities, and research institutes with Big Science research organizations: https://lnkd.in/eZWBHqqs Luleå University of Technology, Uppsala University, Lund University, Chalmers University of Technology. © Pradeep Ghosh, FAIR /GSI

Virtual reality, games for kids, modern didactics and science you can touch: We opened our new SCIENCE POP-UP in the city center of Darmstadt on Monday. Our aim is to bring a part of research and high-tech to the center of the city of science Darmstadt and to spark the fascination for physics in young and old: https://lnkd.in/dtSss_JK 📍Location: city center #Darmstadt, Ernst-Ludwig-Straße 22 🕙Opening hours: Tue-Fri, 10:30am–5:00pm, Saturday 👉 check website! 💻 Website: www.gsi.de/science-popup Thank you for coming Bijan Kaffenberger, SPD member of the Hessian state parliament, and Heike Hofmann, Hessian Minister of Labor, Youth, Integration and Social Affairs, who emphasized in her greetings the importance of young talents in science, engineering and technology professions and the important contribution that the #sciencepopup makes to this cause. Thank you Stadtpunkte Darmstadt #VR #schule #kids © allefarben-foto, GSI/FAIR

Laser-based nuclear fusion as a key technology for a clean and economical energy supply: At the top-level meeting with Hessian Minister President Boris Rhein for the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding, GSI/FAIR Scientific Managing Director Thomas Nilsson said: "With their basic research and expertise in the fields of #plasma physics and materials research, GSI and FAIR have been driving forward the technological maturity of laser-based fusion for decades. By training young researchers, we are passing on the necessary knowledge to new generations and paving the way for future socially relevant applications. Our work is an indispensable backbone for industrial application and contributes to Hesse's pioneering role both nationally and internationally.” https://lnkd.in/ekAXdg6K © Hessische Staatskanzlei

The CBM Collaboration awarded the “Best Thesis Award 2024” to an outstanding #PhD thesis. The prize went to Dr. Kshitij Agarwal and was presented recently during the CBM Collaboration Meeting. Dr. Kshitij Agarwal made significant contributions to the design of the of the cooling element of the Silicon Tracking System (STS) and optimizing the construction of the STS modules as well as the monitoring of environmental parameters. The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment is one of the central research pillars of the international accelerator center FAIR, which is currently being built at GSI.

Scientist for one day - 19 high school students participated in the ALICE Masterclass at GSI/FAIR, where they had the unique opportunity to analyze real data from the groundbreaking ALICE experiment at CERN. In addition to this hands-on experience, they explored the research facilities of GSI/FAIR campus. The event was organized by the ALICE research department at GSI/FAIR that is involved in the conception and development of the experiment and is also currently involved in the research. The event is part of the ‘Hands on Particle Physics - International Physics Masterclass’ where every year, more than 13,000 students from more than 60 countries take part. https://lnkd.in/dub5guXA #ippog #ippogorg #physicsIMC #particlephysics #alice #cern © Ralf Averbeck, GSI/FAIR

🔬With particles against cancer - sign up for the particle physics masterclass at GSI/FAIR to learn how biological and physical concepts can be used to fight cancer with radiation. You will start with an explanation of the basics and a tour of the GSI campus. In the afternoon, you can then use the knowledge you have gained to run through radiation planning scenarios and optimize radiation plans yourself. The event is part of the ‘Hands on Particle Physics - International Physics Masterclass’. That means that several international masterclasses will take place at the same time, with which you can exchange experiences at the end. Register now!  🌐 https://lnkd.in/eiH-i_6E   👤 Who is it for?
