Business Wire
RI Research Instruments GmbH, a majority-owned subsidiary of
Bruker Energy & Supercon Technologies, Inc. (BEST), today
announced the award of a contract for five radio frequency (rf)
cavities for the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR)
project, valued at approximately $5.8 million.
The contract includes design and construction of rf cavities
with tunable frequencies from 1.1 MHz to 1.5 MHz. These cavities
will be delivered over a four-year period and be operated in the
collector ring, one of several FAIR synchrotron and storage
rings.
FAIR will be built at the GSI Helmholtz Center for Heavy Ion
Research in Darmstadt, Germany, and represents one of the largest
research projects worldwide. FAIR is designed to provide antiproton
and ion beams with unprecedented intensity and quality. In its
final expected form, FAIR will consist of eight ring colliders of
up to 1,100 meters in circumference each, two linear accelerators,
and about 3.5 kilometers of beam-control tubes. The existing GSI
accelerators will then serve as pre-accelerators.
Hanspeter Vogel, Managing Director of RI Research Instruments,
explained: “With this accelerating cavity order, we broaden the
spectrum of our rf accelerating devices to the extreme low
frequency regime and expand our business opportunities
accordingly.”
