Funding: Work supported by the EU under contract PITN-GA-2008-215080, the Helmholtz Association of National Research Centers (HGF) under contract VH-NG-328, and the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research. At present, the only place in the world where experiments utilising 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 in the order of a few hundreds of eV. Whilst MUSASHI produces cutting-edge research, the available beam quality and luminosity is not sufficient for collision experiments on the level of differential cross sections. A small electrostatic ring, and associated electrostatic acceleration section, is being designed and developed by the QUASAR Group. It will serve as a prototype for the future ultra-low energy storage ring (USR), to be integrated at the facility for low-energy antiproton and ion research (FLAIR). This small AD recycler ring will be unique due to its combination of size, electrostatic nature and energy of the circulating particles. In this contribution, the design of the ring is described and details about the injection section are given. |
