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.

In CRYRING molecular beams with currents down to 1 nA are used for experiments. To extend the rms resolution of the bunched beam current measurements down to 100 pA, a BERGOZ Integrating Current Transformer (ICT) and one of the the capacitive pick-up's sum signal are integrated simultaneously. The absolute calibration of the pick-up integrator signal is carried out at the end of the acceleration stage, during 20-60 ms. The ion beam current can be measured over a pulse width range of 100 ns to 15 us with a 20-60% bunch duty cycle. For both detectors, low noise amplifiers and a differential input double integrator have been designed. A programmable phase shifter allows measurement of the beam current during the acceleration of the ions, generating a gate signal with proper phase for the integrators in the 30 kHz-3 MHz frequency range. The bandwidth of the integrators used is 100 Hz.

The EU supported EURISOL Design Study encompasses a beta-beam facility for neutrino physics. Intense electron (anti-)neutrino beams are in such a machine generated through the decay of radioactive ions in a high energy storage ring. The two main candidate isotopes for the generation of a neutrino and an anti-neutrino beam are 6He2+ and 18Ne10+. The intensities required are hard to reach, in particular for the neon case. A possible solution to increase the intensity is to use an accumulator ring with an electron cooler. Critical parameters such as cooling times and current limitations due to space charge and tune shifts are presently being optimized. We will in this presentation give an overview of the low energy accumulation stage and review recent work on this option.
