Based in the German city of Darmstadt (in the state of Hesse), the complex will cover an area of 20 hectares and require 600, 000 cubic metres of concrete as well as 65,000 tons of steel. Construction teams will be building a tunnel to house the heart of the complex, a ring accelerator with a circumference of 1.1 kilometres. The 24 buildings and tunnel sections provide 62,000 square metres of usable space and sufficient room for a total of 3.5 kilometres of beam control tubes as well as huge detectors and a complex technical infrastructure. The construction project is split into several modules. The first module concentrates on constructing the large accelerator ring (SIS 100) along with two smaller accelerator and storage rings, as well as a linear accelerator for protons (p-Linac). Another large accelerator ring, SIS 300, will be installed in the tunnel at a later stage. Space has also been allocated on the site for three further experimental and storage rings, also to be installed at a later date. PB - JACoW CP - Geneva, Switzerland ER -
