	To store high current ion beams up to 10 A, a superconducting storage ring (F8SR) is planned at Frankfurt university.

At the moment, a new kind of injection system consisting of a solenoidal injection coil and a special vacuum vessel is under development. It is used to inject a hydrogen beam sideways between two toroidal magnets. In parallel operation, a second hydrogen beam is transported through both magnets to represent the circulating beam. In a second stage, an ExB-Kicker will be used as a septum to combine both beams into one. The current status of the experimental setup will be shown. For the design of the experiments, computer simulations using the 3D simulation code bender were performed. Different input parameters were checked to find the optimal injection and transport channel for the experiment. The results will be presented.

WEPM8Y01	Simulation of Space-Charge Compensation of a Low-Energy Proton Beam in a Drift Section	458

	Space-charge compensation provided by the accumulation of particles of opposing charge in the beam potential is an important effect occuring in magnetostatic low energy beam transport sections of high-intensity accelerators. An improved understanding of its effects might provide valuable input for the design of these beam lines. One approach to model the compensation process are Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulations including residual gas ionisation. In simulations of a drifting proton beam, using the PIC code bender [1], some features of thermal equilibrium for the compensation electrons were found. This makes it possible to predict their spatial distribution using the Poisson-Boltzmann equation and thus the influence on beam transport. In this contribution, we will provide a comparison between the PIC simulations and the model as well as some ideas concerning the source of the (partial) thermalization. [1] D. Noll, M. Droba, O.

Space-charge compensation provided by the accumulation of particles of opposing charge in the beam potential is an important effect occuring in magnetostatic low energy beam transport sections of high-intensity accelerators. An improved understanding of its effects might provide valuable input for the design of these beam lines. One approach to model the compensation process are Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulations including residual gas ionisation. In simulations of a drifting proton beam, using the PIC code bender [1], some features of thermal equilibrium for the compensation electrons were found. This makes it possible to predict their spatial distribution using the Poisson-Boltzmann equation and thus the influence on beam transport. In this contribution, we will provide a comparison between the PIC simulations and the model as well as some ideas concerning the source of the (partial) thermalization.
