To exploit the unique possibilities that will become available at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR), a collaboration of about 50 institutes from 15 countries was formed to efficiently enable an innovative research program towards low-energy antimatter-physics. In the Facility for Low-energy Antiproton and Ion Research (FLAIR) antiprotons and heavy ions are slowed down from 30 MeV to energies as low as 20 keV by a magnetic and an electrostatic storage ring. In this contribution, the facility and the research program covered are described with an emphasis on the accelerator chain and the expected particle numbers. An overview of the novel beam handling, cooling and imaging techniques as they will be required across the facility is given.

At the FLAIR facility (Facility for Low-energy Antiproton and Ion Research) at FAIR, antiprotons and heavy ions will be decelerated to very low energies and ultimately to rest. One step in this deceleration is made in the magnetic storage ring LSR (Low-Energy Storage Ring). CRYRING at the Manne Siegbahn Laboratory in Stockholm will be closed down within the next few years, and since CRYRING has an energy range quite similar to the proposed LSR, is equipped with beam cooling, and has several other features required for a deceleration ring, plans are being made for the transfer of CRYRING to FAIR and for its use as the LSR ring. This paper describes some of the characteristics of CRYRING relevant for its new role, modifications that need to be made, and test that have been performed at CRYRING with, e.g., deceleration of protons from 30 MeV to 300 keV kinetic energy, which is the proposed energy range for antiprotons at LSR.

A double electrostatic storage ring named DESIREE is under construction at the Manne Siegbahn Laboratory and Stockholm University. The two rings will have the same circumference, 9.2 m, and a common straight section where merged beam experiments with ions of opposite signs will be performed. The whole structure will be contained in a single vacuum vessel resulting in a very compact design. In addition to its unique double ring structure it will be possible to cool DESIREE down to 10-20K using cryogenerators. This will reduce the internal vibrational and rotational excitations of stored molecules. A cold system will also result in excellent vacuum conditions where longer lifetimes of the stored beams can be expected. While the ion optical calculations have entered a final phase much of the work is now devoted to solve many of the mechanical and cryogenic challenges of DESIREE. In order to test the mechanical and cryogenic properties of for example insulators, vacuum seals, and laser viewports a small test system has been built. The test system is expected to provide valuable information for the final design of DESIREE.

The electron energy of the HESR electron cooler shall be variable from 450 keV to 4.5 MeV. Furthermore, the design shall not exclude a further upgrade to 8 MeV. Operation of the HESR in a collider mode, which requires electron cooling of both protons and antiprotons traveling in opposite directions, is an interesting option. The status of the technical design of the HESR electron cooling system will be presented.
