  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.
