HITRAP

HITRAP is a research and technology development (RTD) network of European research teams. It was founded on November 1, 2001. The goal of the network is the development of novel instrumentation for a broad spectrum of physics experiments with heavy Highly Charged Ions (HCI) up to bare uranium (U92+) at low energies (<1 eV/u). This is presently not performed at any other institution using light, medium-heavy or heavy HCI at MeV energies. In the planned GSI future facility , HITRAP is an essential part of the SPARC and [http://www.oeaw.ac.at/smi/flair/ FLAIR] collaborations.

The HITRAP RTD network is closely related to the European RTD networks [http://www.kvi.nl/~trimp/web/html/nipnet.html NIPNET] and [http://www.ha.physik.uni-muenchen.de/ioncatcher/ IONCATCHER] .
