Future Evolution
In the years to come, GSI will evolve to an international structure named FAIR for Facility for Antiprotons and Ion Research. The first beam is expected by 2013. Among the improvements, two new synchrotrons (with respective magnetic rigidity 100 and 300 Tm), a Super-FRS and several new rings among which one that can be used for antimatter research.
