Beschreibung: The year 2005 has been a challenging one for the institute: as a consequence of the “mixed results” of the first review in February 2004 within the Research Programme “Physics of Hadrons and Nuclei” in the Research Field “Structure of Matter” of the Helmholtz Centres, IKP was faced with substantial cuts in resources for 2005. An even more serious threat ensued with possible further reductions for the years 2006 – 2009, depending, however, on the outcome of an “in-depth” evaluation of the IKP activities. The review on “COSY and FZJ contributions to FAIR”, conducted by an international committee, and headed by Peter Paul (BNL, USA), took place on two days in April 2005. IKP presented its strategy for the further use of COSY and, in close collaboration with GSI (Darmstadt), the cooperation towards the construction of the FAIR facility. In its report, issued later last year, the committee almost fully supported our plans, and as a result and the financial agreements, which have been negotiated in the meantime, we now have a solid basis for the remainder of the first funding period (2006 – 2009). — I would like to take this opportunity to thank all who contributed to this great success in one way or the other. One of the explicit recommendations of the committee was to give green light for the relocation of the WASA detector from CELSIUS (Uppsala, Sweden) to COSY. The detector dismount at TSL and transfer to FZJ was completed in 2005, and we are now in the process of installing WASA at an internal target station of COSY — more details are given in the main text. Commissioning of WASA is scheduled to begin in the second half of 2006 and first experiments are expected to start in 2007. In connection with the WASA-at-COSY project, the IKP had decided to reduce the amount of COSY beamtime for users in 2005 by about 2000 hours. The increased downtime is needed to install WASA in the COSY ring, but also has the positive side-effect that the cost-savings will be used to finance necessary maintenance and upgrades of WASA ...
