On July 1, the board of directors of the Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ) founded the$\textbf{Jülich Center for Hadron Physics (JCHP)}$. The main goal of the JCHP is to coordinatethe hadron physics activities at the FZJ for the FAIR project. This includes activitiesat the Institute for Advanced Simulations (IAS), the Institut für Kernphysik (IKP), theZentralinstitut für Elektronik (ZEL) and the Zentralabteilung Technologie (ZAT). Withinthe Helrnholtz Association (HGF) research field $\textit{Structure of Matter}$, the FZJ operatesthe COSY facility and has achieved an excellent international reputation due to the closecooperation between accelerator physicists, experimentalists and theoreticians. In cooperationwith ZEL and ZAT, the IKP is in charge of the construction and operation of theHigh Energy Storage Ring HESR and makes a strong contribution to the PANDA detectorand its physics. PAX is exploiting methods to effectively polarize (anti-)protons for apossible future upgrade at FAIR.The FZJ operates the JUGENE/JSC supercomputer and hosts the John von Neumann institutewhich develops lattice gauge simulation calculations of quantum chromodynamics(QCD) and hadron structure. The JCHP coordinates these activities by establishing a directconnection between the lattice QCD simulation groups and hadron physicists. Moreover,the infrastructure provided by the IAS for mass storage, presently used for COSYdata, may handle FAIR data and perform Monte Carlo simulations of HESR experiments.External users are essential for the success of an accelerator complex, therefore, the JCHPfacilitates the contact of external users with the FZJ and supports external activities in thefield of hadron physics. Presently an initiative of the universities within North-RhineWestfalia and the FZJ, called NRW-FAIR, is forming to coordinate their FAIR-relatedactivities.Starting December 1, 2008, the IKP-3 theorists also work in IAS-4, the strong interactionphysics branch of the Institute for Advanced Simulations (IAS). The Virtual Institute $\textit{Spinand Strang QCD}$ has presented its first results on June 1 in Ferrara.A Helmholtz-Russia Joint Research Group, the first one in Jülich, will receive fundingfrom the Impuls- und Vernetzungsfond of the Helmholtz Association and from the RussianFoundation for Basic Research for the next three years. In a joint effort of the FZJ,the Budker Institute in Novosibirsk, TU Dortmund and JINR Dubna methods for electroncooling in the MeV region, relevant for FAIR, will be developed.The IKP has initiated a cooperation with the 100-TW laser facility at the HeinrichHeineUniversity Düsseldorf. The potential of new particle acceleration technologies withlimited-mass targets will be explored, exploiting the know-how on frozen-pellet targetsgained at the IKP. The year 2008 has seen important experimental and theoretical progress: [...] |
