Abstracts

The Small Isochronous Ring project at Michigan State University, Alberto Rodriguez

In recent years, a number of authors have proposed to use high power cyclotrons for various applications. Space charge forces become especially relevant in these machines due to the large beam currents involved. There is a consensus in the cyclotron community that a deeper knowledge of these forces is necessary to successfully build such a cyclotron. Using a Small Isochronous Ring (SIR) that works in a space charge dominated regime, we are able to observe and study some of the same effects that are expected in much larger machines. In this presentation, I will briefly describe my contribution to the SIR project.

Electrostatic Storage Devices at MPI-K, Carsten Welsch

The future Accelerator Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) at Darmstadt will produce the highest flux of antiprotons in the world. In the proposed facility for low-energy antiproton and ion research (FLAIR) the antiprotons shall be slowed down in a final step from 300 keV to 20 keV in an ultra-low energy electrostatic storage ring (USR) for various in-ring experiments as well as for their efficient injection into traps.
For the USR to fulfill its key role in the FLAIR project, the development of novel and challenging methods and technologies is required. A cryogenic storage ring (CSR) is presently being built up at MPI-K and shall prove the technical feasibility of the accelerator and serve as a test stand for most of the practical challenges. In this talk, an overview of the FLAIR facility with emphasis on the USR, the layout and present status of the CSR and the design of a small cryogenic electrostatic ion trap is given.
