Beam diagnostics systems are essential constituents of any particle accelerator; they reveal the properties of a beam and how it behaves in a machine. Without an appropriate set of diagnostic elements, it would simply be impossible to operate any accelerator complex let alone optimize its performance. Future accelerator projects will require innovative approaches in particle detection and imaging techniques to provide a full set of information about the beam characteristics. The European Training Network DITANET covers the development of advanced beam diagnostic methods for a wide range of existing or future accelerators, both for electrons and ions. The developments in profile, current, and position measurement techniques stretch beyond present technology and will mark the future state of the art. This contribution presents the scientific challenges that will be addressed within the next four years, together with the networks' structure.

For some very interesting experiments in future low-energy storage rings it is highly desirable to realize ultra-short bunches in the nanosecond regime. These bunches could then be used for collision studies with atomic or molecular gas jet targets where the time structure of the bunches would be used as a trigger for the experiment. Thus, the control of the longitudinal time structure of the stored beam is of central importance since it directly determines the resolution of the envisaged experiments. Since many years, it has been a significant challenge for the storage ring accelerator-physics community to develop techniques to reduce the duration of bunches. Up to now, all methods that have been developed go along with various difficulties, which can include reduced stored-beam lifetimes. Thus, novel and innovative concepts for the manipulation and control of the longitudinal beam structure have to be developed. In this paper, novel approaches to realize shortest bunches in storage rings are presented.

At very low residual gas pressure below 10-12 mbar, as foreseen in future low-energy storage rings currently under development at the MPI-K and FAIR, conventional residual gas beam profile monitors cease to work with reasonable count rates. One possible way to overcome this restriction is the use of a supersonic gas jet as a profile monitor. Such a jet could be shaped as a thin curtain, thus providing a uniform target with a variable target density extended over the whole beam. A possible setup of such a device taking into account vacuum considerations, expected count rates and an envisioned detection scheme are presented in this contribution.

At the National Centre for Mathematics and Physics (NCMP), at the King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST), Saudi Arabia, a multi-purpose low-energy experimental platform is presently being developed in collaboration with the University of Heidelberg, Germany. The aim of this project is to enable a multitude of low-energy experiments with most different kinds of ions both in single pass setups, but also with ions stored in a low-energy electrostatic storage ring. In this contribution, the injector of this complex is presented. It was designed to provide beams with energies up to 30 kV/q and will allow for switching between different ion sources from e.g. duoplasmatron to electrospray ion sources and to thus provide the users with a wide range of different beams. We present the overall layout of the injector with a focus on the optical design and the foreseen diagnostic elements.

In the future Facility for Low-energy Antiproton and Ion Research (FLAIR) at GSI, the Ultra-low energy electrostatic Storage Ring (USR) will provide cooled beams of antiprotons and possibly also highly charged ions down to energies of only 20 keV/q. Beams with small momentum spread and low emittance will enable a wide range of hitherto impossible experiments. The large variety of planned experiments requires a highly flexible longitudinal time structure of the extracted bunches, ranging from ultra-short pulses in the nanosecond regime to quasi DC beams. In this contribution, a preliminary design of the extraction scheme is presented. Furthermore, possible solutions for the compensation of effects from the extraction region on the very-low energy beam are shown, including results from beam transport calculations.
