Review of the event | April 2, 2026
Great to be part of the GSI/FAIR Roadshow – thank you for the opportunity and the excellent discussions. We particularly appreciated the strong interest in our R&D portfolio, including ion sources, ion optics, ion diagnostics, and complete ion irradiation systems. The exchange with the GSI teams provided valuable insights and reinforces our commitment to developing compact, high-performance solutions for advanced ion beam applications. Looking forward to continuing the collaboration.
Announcement | February 17, 2026
The GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt is a world-class facility dedicated to high-tech physics research. At its core, GSI operates a powerful particle accelerator system that allows scientists to collide heavy ions with targets or each other. These experiments help researchers explore the fundamental building blocks of the universe, the synthesis of superheavy elements, and the conditions of matter shortly after the Big Bang.
Beyond basic research, GSI is a pioneer in applied science, most notably for developing carbon ion therapy, a highly precise cancer treatment. Currently, they are constructing FAIR, one of the largest international research projects, to further investigate nuclear astrophysics and atomic physics.
To strengthen collaboration between industry and academia, their Technology Transfer Office regularly organizes a roadshow on the GSI campus. On Wednesday, March 18, together with other companies in the industry, our General Manager Mike Schmidt will be there with a table top to answer questions from employees from FAIR (Accelerator Center) and GSI about our Ion Beam Technology.
