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.

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.
