Abstract

The Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) is currently being built in Darmstadt, Germany. The SIS100 accelerator is at the heart of FAIR and will provide proton and heavy-ion beams for a variety of experiments. There are four main research pillars at FAIR specialized in the field of nuclear, hadron and elementary particle physics, atomic and antimatter physics, high density plasma physics, as well as applications in condensed matter physics, biology and the biomedical sciences. In these proceedings I briefly review the main research pillars of FAIR and the status of its realization.
