The Swedish in-kind contribution to the FAIR facility in Darmstadt, the heavy-ion storage ring CRYRING, has been transported to Darmstadt recently. Instead of warehousing until installation at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research, FAIR, the immediate installation behind the existing Experimental Storage Ring, ESR, has been proposed. CRYRING can decelerate, cool and store heavy, highly charged ions that come from the ESR down to a few 100 keV/nucleon. It provides a high performance electron cooler in combination with a gas jet target and thus opens up a very attractive physics program as a natural extension of the ESR, which can only operate down to about 4 MeV/nucleon. CRYRING@ESR also provides beams of low charged ions independently on the GSI accelerator. All this makes CRYRING@ESR the perfect machine for FAIR related tests of diagnostics, software and concepts, and atomic physics experiments with heavy, highly charged ions stored at low energy. Perspectives are also opened up for low-energy nuclear physics investigations. CRYRING@ESR is a first step towards atomic physics with low-energy, highly charged ions at FAIR as planned within the SPARC and APPA collaborations.
