A small cryogenic storage ring is planned to be developed at MPI-K, Heidelberg. The energy in the machine will be variable from 300 keV > down to 20 keV. Electron cooling will be applied to produce a high quality ion beam. The ring shall accommodate slow, vibrationally and rotationally cooled molecular ions and highly charged ions from the EBIT ion source. Moreover, it will serve as a test facility for the low-energy antiproton ring planned within the FLAIR collaboration to be installed at the future GSI facility. A number of technological challenges have to be handled: Especially highly charged ions require a vacuum in the order below 10-13 mbar to achieve reasonable lifetimes. Therefore - and for enabling experiments with rotationally cold molecules - the complete machine will be cooled down to below 10 K. Moreover, experiments with reaction microscopes to determine the full kinematics of ion- (antiproton-) atom or molecule collisions require a bunched operation with a bunch length below 2 ns. The optical elements of the machine and the lattice functions are given and first ideas about the vacuum chamber design are described in this paper.

The Future Accelerator Facility for Beams of Ions and Antiprotons at Darmstadt will produce the highest flux of antiprotons in the world. So far it is foreseen to accelerate the antiprotons to high energies (3-15 GeV) for meson spectroscopy and other nuclear and particle physics experiments in the HESR (High Energy Storage Ring). Within the planned complex of storage rings, it is possible to decelerate the antiprotons to about 30 MeV kinetic energy, opening up the possibility to create low energy antiprotons. In the proposed FLAIR facility the antiprotons shall be slowed down in a last step from 300 keV to 20 keV in an electrostatic storage ring (USR) for various in-ring experiments as well as for their efficient injection into traps. In this energy range - especially if one thinks about realizing a real multi-purpose facility with not only antiprotons, but also various highly-charged radioactive ions to be stored and investigated - electrostatic storage rings have clear advantages compared to their magnetic counterparts. In case one envisions to even approach the eV range, electrostatic machines are the only possible choice. This contribution presents the layout and design parameters of the USR.
