  The advantages of storage rings with only electrostatic elements were first demonstrated by ELISA in Aarhus and later in other places. At MSL and Fysikum at Stockholm University the ideas have been developed further in the Double Electrostatic Storage Ion Ring ExpEriment, DESIREE. Beams of negative and positive ions will be merged in a common straight section of the rings so that low energy collisions can be studied. Furthermore the rings will be cooled to 10 - 20 K in order to relax internal excitations in circulating molecules. A design report can be found at www.msl.se. The project is now (January 2004) almost fully financed and the final design work has recently been started. The paper will shortly review the physics programme and describe the status of the design work.
