In 2018, a broad spectrum of unprecedented fore-front research becomes available at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research, FAIR. The new facility is being constructed within the next five years adjacent to the existing accelerator complex of the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research at Darmstadt/Germany. It will deliver stable and rare isotope beams covering a huge range of...

The Compressed Baryonic Matter experiment at FAIR will explore the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter at highest net baryon densities and moderate temperatures. The CBM physics program will be started with beams delivered by the SIS 100 synchrotron, providing energies from 2 to 11 GeV/nucleon for heavy nuclei, up to 14 GeV/nucleon for light nuclei, and 29 GeV for protons. The highest...

In relativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC, heavy quarks are primarily created from initial hard scatterings. Due to the heavy masses, their intrinsic properties are much less affected by the QCD medium compared to those of light quarks. Therefore heavy quark hadrons are suggested as a clean probe for the studying of early dynamic evolution of the dense and hot medium created in high-energy...

The long term plan of ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is a detailed investigation and characterization of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) in order to fully exploit the scientific potential of the LHC with heavy ions at high luminosity after the Long Shutdown 2 (LS2) scheduled in 2018-2019. The study will focus on high precision measurements of rare probes over a wide range of momenta,...

The Time Projection Chamber (TPC) is one of the main tracking and PID devices in the central barrel
of the ALICE detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider.
It provides precise charged-particle tracking, momentum measurement, and particle identification
in very high multiplicity heavy-ion collisions.
The readout rate of the TPC is currently limited by the necessity to prevent ions from...

J-PARC is going to achieve its designed proton beam power of 0.75 MW at 30 GeV for neutrino physics and 1 MW at 3 GeV for material and life sciences in several years. Recently, discussions of heavy ion acceleration as the future J-PARC project have been held among nuclear physicists and accelerator scientists.
The main goals of the program are to explore the QCD phase diagram at high baryon...

A five-year international design study called Future Circular Collider (FCC) has been launched by CERN with a kick-off meeting in February 2014. The main goal is a hadron collider with a centre-of-mass energy of the order of 100 TeV for pp collisions in a new 80-100 km tunnel in the Geneva area. The target start of operation would be 2035-40.
Operating such machine with heavy ions is an...
