Particle Spectroscopy
The study of high-energetic particle and photon radiation is
of paramount importance for the understanding of the
underlying photon-matter interactions.
High-PowerLaser Development
The development of high-power laser systems
is one of the core issues of the institute.
Laser-inducedParticle Acceleration
Merging new concepts of laser-induced particle acceleration
with conventionel acceleration techniques.
POLARIS Laser
The world's only fully diode-pumped high-power laser
is mainly used in studies of laser-induced particle acceleration.
ESR Storage Ring
The heavy ion storage ring at GSI enables experiments
with highly-charged ions up to fully-ionized uranium.
JETI200 Laser
With a peak energy of 4 Joule and a pulse length of 17 fs
the JETI200 laser system achieves a peak intensity of 10²¹ W/cm².
CRYRING Storage Ring
The storage ring for low to intermediate beam energies
is the first experimental facility of the FAIR project.
Welcome to the Helmholtz Institute Jena
The Helmholtz Institute Jena is an outstation of the GSI Helmholtz Center for Heavy Ion Research on the campus of the Friedrich Schiller University of Jena. Additional partner institutes are the Helmholtz centers DESY and HZDR. The institute is mainly focused on applied and fundamental research at the borderline of high-power lasers and particle accelerator facilities.
Thus, the HI Jena provides important contributions to future research projects currently being designed and built. Such projects include FAIR at the GSI Helmholtz Center, the FEL photon sources FLASH and XFEL at DESY. Moreover, it will effectively strengthen FSU Jena’s research profile by facilitating new areas of research and significantly stimulate cooperation between the participating Helmholtz Centers and the university.
