The LIP-HADES group was originally created for the design and construction of a Time of Flight (TOF) detector based on Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs), the RPC-TOF-Wall (RPC-TOF-W), for the HADES spectrometer at GSI, Darmstad, Germany. More recently, new members joined the group and took responsibilities on data analysis. The LIP group assumed new commitments for the construction of a new TOF detector for the HADES forward region, the RPC-TOF-FD, and is collaborating with the Multi Drift Chamber group.
The accelerator infrastructure at GSI had a long stop for the upgrade to the new FAIR facility (Facility for Antiprotons and Ion Research), at which the SIS100 synchrotron will provide higher beam energies and intensities, and has recently resumed operations. The HADES spectrometer has been upgraded with a new electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) and a new RICH detector. HADES has the mission to provide high-quality dilepton data at baryon densities and temperatures not accessible by other detectors, neither in the past nor in the foreseeable future.
