Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Professor Meyer is well known as an international authority in precision experiments on the interaction between nucleons using ion storage rings. He has made important contributions to the development and physics application of storage rings which are fundamental for antiproton physics at the new FAIR facility under design at GSI Darmstadt. Professor Meyer's work combines original and practical solutions with a deep understanding of nuclear and hadron physics. During his stay in Germany, he will continue research on the spin-degree of freedom in hadronic systems.
