    Design Studies of an Electrostatic Storage Ring

    Full text link
    Electrostatic storage rings combine a number of very interesting characteristics that make them an attractive tool in the low energy range. In contrast to magnetic rings, all of the fields in an electrostatic storage ring are completely mass independent. At the same particle energy and charge state, ions from light protons to heavy biomolecules can in principal be stored with identical field setups. A small ring for ions of energies up to 50 keV is planned to be built up at Goethe University in Frankfurt. Different designs have been calculated and the results are presented in this contribution. Furthermore, prototypes of the necessary optical elements have been manufactured and are described as well

    Ring of FIRE

    A small electrostatic storage ring is the central machine of the Frankfurt Ion stoRage Experiments (FIRE) which will be built up at the new Stern-Gerlach-Center of Frankfurt University. With ion energies up to 50 keV it enables the analysis of complex many-particle systems from atoms to very large bio molecules. The high luminosity of the beam allows measurements with many orders of magnitude better resolution compared to traditional measurements. It will be combined with existing experiments, like the reaction microscope COLTRIMS and the ECR ion source. In comparison to earlier designs, the ring lattice was modified in many details: Problems in earlier designs were related with e.g. the detection of light particles and highly charged ions with different charge states. Therefore, the deflectors were redesigned completely, allowing a more flexible positioning of the diagnostic elements. In this contribution, the final design of the storage ring is presented and the layout of all elements given
