New projects at CRYRING

Major recent developments at CRYRING include the installation of a superconducting gun solenoid on the electron cooler one and a half years ago, the construction of a gas target for studies of fast ion-atom collisions that will be operating in the late spring of this year, and an ECR ion source on a high-voltage platform that will be used as an additional injector into CRYRING. Smaller projects relate to the continuous requests for new atomic and molecular ions in the ring, including now negative ions, which leads to a demand for new detector positions and, since these ions often are difficult to produce in an ion source, also to improvements of the diagnostics of weak beams in injection lines and in the ring.
