Design Studies of an Electrostatic Storage Ring

Design Studies of an Electrostatic Storage Ring

Electrostatic storage rings combine a number of very interesting characteristics that make them an attractive tool in the low energy range. In contrast to magnetic rings, all of the fields in an electrostatic storage ring are completely mass independent. At the same particle energy and charge state, ions from light protons to heavy biomolecules can in principal be stored with identical field se...

An Ultra-low Energy Electrostatic Storage Ring at FLAIR

The Facility for Low-energy Antiproton and Ion Research (FLAIR) recently got part of the FAIR core project. A large part of the wide physics program decisively relies on new experimental techniques to cool and slow down antiprotons to 20 keV, namely on the development of an ultra-low energy electrostatic storage ring (USR). For the USR to fulfil its key role in the FLAIR project, the developmen...

design of an analog fuzzy logic controller chip

fuzzy logic has been developed over the past three decades into a widely applied techinque in classification and control engineering. today fuzzy logic control is one of the most important applications of fuzzy set theory and specially fuzzy logic. there are two general approachs for using of fuzzy control, software and hardware. integrated circuits as a solution for hardware realization are us...

Time evolution of internal energy distribution of Anthracene studied in an electrostatic storage ring, the Mini-Ring

Fast radiative cooling of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) was studied by probing the time evolution of the internal energy distribution of hot molecular ensembles in the ms range. Anthracene cations (C14H10) prepared in an electron cyclotron resonance ion source were stored in an electrostatic storage ring, the Mini-Ring [1]. The experiment showed that in the first milliseconds, the time ...
