SAFE project

The EU-funded SAFE https://saferesearchers.eu/ project ("Supporting At-Risk Researchers with Fellowships in Europe") has launched its call for applications for fellowships in November 2024. The application prepared by Alberica and Maksym was successful in the very competitive selection process. Excellent! Warmest congratulations to Alberica and Maksym! We thank Arjan Vink and Yvonne Leifels from GSI/FAIR for their support of the CBM candidate and Jürgen for promoting the programme and for encouraging to apply. Let's hope that Oleksandr Kshyvansky (Institute for Nuclear Research of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (KINR), Kyiv, Ukraine) will soon arrive at GSI to strengthen the activities around the STS project!

A two days outreach program on CBM, NuSTAR and BioPhysics was organised at the Panjab University Chandigarh, India, 23-25 April 2025. The CBM-Day took place on 25 Apr to assess the contributions from institutions in India and discuss groups future plans. CBM Management is very grateful for the active participation and constructive discussions to all the Project Leaders from institutions in India. Special thanks goes to Local organising team lead by Bivash Ranjan Behera (NuSTAR), Lokesh Kumar (CBM).

CBM @ QM 2025, Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany

The Quark Matter Conference was held in Frankfurt from 6 to 12 April 2025. The conference was attended by 1004 participants. CBM and HADES members actively participated in the organisation of the meeting as conference co-chair, members of the IAC and LOC, and in the presentation of science in 1 plenary (HADES), 1 parallel (CBM) + 3 parallel (HADES) talks, as well as 8 posters (HADES) and 17 posters (CBM). High muB physics was prominently discussed at QM2025, but also at the satellite meeting on Physics of High net-baryon densities (PHD2025), 13-15 April 2025 at GSI.

PhDaward

The CBM Collaboration proudly presents the Best Thesis Award to Dr. Kshitij Agarwal 

  • for the development of a realistic CBM-STS thermal demonstrator to experimentally verify the cooling concept and simulation results; 

  • for the significant contributions to the design of the cooling element and optimizing the construction of the STS modules, the monitoring of environmental parameters. 

The CBM Collaboration acknowledge the high relevance of this work for the development of the concept of the STS cooling system and its direct implications in the final STS operation.
