An Ultra-low Energy Electrostatic Storage Ring at FLAIR
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Facility for Low-energy Antiproton and Ion Research (FLAIR) recently got part of the FAIR core project. A large part of the wide physics program decisively relies on new experimental techniques to cool and slow down antiprotons to 20 keV, namely on the development of an ultra-low energy electrostatic storage ring (USR). For the USR to fulfil its key role in the FLAIR project, the development of novel and challenging methods and technologies is necessary: the combination of the electrostatic storage mode with a deceleration of the stored ions from 300 keV to 20 keV, electron cooling at all energies in both longitudinal and transverse phase-space, bunching of the stored beam to ultra-short pulses in the nanosecond regime and the development of an in-ring reaction microscope for antiproton – matter rearrangement experiments.

At present, the only place in the world where experiments utilizing low-energy antiprotons can be performed is the AD at CERN. The MUSASHI trap, as part of the ASACUSA collaboration, enables access to antiproton energies of a few hundreds of eV. Whilst the MUSASHI trap enables cutting-edge research, the available beam quality and luminosity is not sufficient for collision experiments on the lev...
