Beschreibungen/Notizen
In this proceedings I will describe the design of a new storage device currently under construction at Stockholm University, Sweden. This device uses purely electrostatic focussing and deflection elements and allows ion beams of opposite charge to be confined under extreme high vacuum and cryogenic conditions in separate "rings" and then merged over a common straight section. This Double ElectroStatic Ion Ring ExpEriment (DESIREE) apparatus allows for studies of interactions between cations and anions at low and well-defined centre-of-mass energies. I discuss the design of the DESIREE facility, highlighting some of the technical advantages of using purely electrostatic over magnetic elements, as well as the issues that have arisen during its development and construction. Finally, the advantages of this design are a boon to fundamental experimental studies and I finish by discussing an example of such potential research.
