The Electron–ion Scattering Experiment ELISe at the International Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR)—A Conceptual Design Study

The electron–ion scattering experiment ELISe is part of the installations envisaged at the new experimental storage ring at the International Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Darmstadt, Germany. It offers an unique opportunity to use electrons as probe in investigations of the structure of exotic nuclei. The conceptual design and the scientific challenges of ELISe are presented.
