CRYSTAL: a storage ring for crystalline beams and other applications

23sireservedThe possibility of generating crystallized ion beams has always excited the interest of most people working on particle accelerators. The reason of this interest has manifold aspects: either a knowledge on a completely new research field or some of the applicative potentialities, connected with crystalline beams, would justify a careful investigation on this content. The Conceptual Design of a low-energy heavy-ion storage ring, called CRYSTAL, proposed for the experimental demonstration of crystalline beams at Legnaro Laboratories is presented. Besides the study of crystalline beams the CRYSTAL Storage Ring (CSR) offers a large potential for fundamental research in nuclear, atomic and molecular physics. In this sense, the development of a second generation cooler ring with better lattice will give large possibilities to investigate more deeply in fundamental physics.mixedTECCHIO, L.; ATUTOV, A.; BISOFFI, G.; BUROV, A.; CALABRESE, R; CIULLO, G.; CLAUSER, T.; DAINELLI, A.; DIKANSKY, N.S.; GUIDI, V.; GUSTAFSSON, S.; LAMANNA, G.; LENISA, P.; MARIOTTI, E.; MOI, L.; MOISIO, M.F.; PARKHOMUCHUK, V.V.; PESTRIKOV, D.V.; PISENT, A.; POGGI, M.; STAGNO, V.; VARIALE, V.; YANG, B.Tecchio, L.; Atutov, A.; Bisoffi, G.; Burov, A.; Calabrese, R; Ciullo, G.; Clauser, T.; Dainelli, A.; Dikansky, N.

Ion beam crystallization

After the successful exploitation of electron cooling in several heavy ion storage rings the possibility of generating crystalline ion beams gained the interest of particle accelerator physicists. New cooling methods, such as laser cooling, give further opportunity to reach ultra cold system of particles necessary for the state transition to the crystalline configuration. Crystalline beams will give insight into a completely new research field, reaching higher standards in precision measurements and techniques. The applicative potentialities of crystalline beams justify a careful investigation on this subject. The conceptual design of a low-energy heavy-ion storage ring, called CRYSTAL, proposed for the experimental demonstration of crystalline beams at Legnaro LNL is presented

CRYSTAL: a storage ring for crystalline ion beams

This is brief summary of the Design Report concerning the low-energy heavy-ion storage ring proposed for the experimental demonstration of Crystalline Beams and other applications. The design of the project has been in a first stage optimized for the study of Crystalline Beams; but provisions have also been made for carrying out experiments of different nature with applications to nuclear, atomic and molecular physics. The Tandem- ALPI heavy-ion facilities of the Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro is assumed as the injector for the storage ring

The crystal storage ring project at Legnaro

We present a study on a storage ring dedicated to ion beam crystallization. Lattice has been designed in order to reduce the phenomena acting against the cooling such as intra-beam scattering and envelope instabilies. Computer simulatious show different kinds of crystaline structures and some new features related to shear effect
