1996/1997        Discussion of the long-range perspectives of GSI:

                         Evaluation of options for an extension of the GSI facility in eight international    

                          working groups covering the topics: 

                          deep-inelastic electron-nucleon and electron-nucleus scattering, 

                          X-ray spectroscopy and radiation physics, 

                          Nuclear collisions at maximum baryon density,

                          Physics with secondary π, K and antiproton beams,

                          Plasma physics with intense heavy-ion beams,
