Title:     Precision Experiments over 12 Decades - HITRAP and CRYRING at ESR

Abstract: To perform precision experiments on exotic ions, no matter if highly charged or rare, it is mandatory to provide means to link high-energy production schemes with low energy storage and measurement schemes. At GSI in Darmstadt/Germany, heavy, highly charged stable and rare ions up to bare uranium are produced in large quantities by stripping all electrons at high energies or nuclear fragmentation at a few 100 MeV/nucleon. For precision measurements storage, cooling and hence extended observation at low energy in well-controlled environments is required. The deceleration down to MeV/nucleon, keV/nucleon and finally sub meV requires several steps involving storage rings and finally a dedicated linear decelerator coupled to ion traps. Two facilities, the linear decelerator facility HITRAP and the low energy storage ring CRYRING at ESR, will be introduced with planned experiments and status of installation.

The seminar will be streamed and recorded, please contact Niki Martin for details.
