FAIR@GSI is on and the experiments in which LIP is involved are getting started:
- HADES is taking data again!
After a 5-year stop for major upgrades at GSI, the also upgraded HADES experiments is taking data in the recently initiated Phase 0 of FAIR.
More info- First "Day-0” experiments of the R3B collaboration
Following the preparation work in 2018, the R3B collaboration, in which LIP participates, recently executed the first series of experiments, part of the so-called "Day-0"
at FAIR.
