Abstract

A new, compact electrostatic storage ring for atomic and molecular physics is planned to be built at RIKEN, Japan. The new ring will be cooled down below 10 K to store rotationally cold molecular ions for a long period.

Commissioning of the cryogenic plant for the cryogenic storage ring (CSR) at Heidelberg

R. von Hahn, M. Froese, M. Grieser +11 more

At the Max-Planck-Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg a next generation electrostatic storage ring for low velocity atomic and molecular ion beams is under construction. In contrast to existing electrostatic storage rings, the Cryogenic Storage Ring CSR will be cooled down to temperatures below 2 K. Thus acting as a large cryopump it will provide long storage times and, in addition, open a new field of quantum state controlled molecular physics due to a low heat radiation background from space-like environment. A concept for cooling the storage ring has been developed and is presently tested by means of a linear trap as a prototype with a length of 1/10 of the planned ring. A commercial refrigerator with 21 W at 2 K has been successfully commissioned and was connected to the prototype. This paper presents the status of the cryogenic plant after the commissioning and one year of operation.
