Description
FLSR is an electrostatic storage ring for low-energy ions (design energy 50keV) at IKF. It has been designed to provide a basis for experiments on the dynamics of ionic and molecular collisions in complete kinematics, as well as for high precision and time resolved laser spectroscopy [1]. The ring has “racetrack” geometry with a circumference of 14,23 m. It comprises four experimental/diagnostic sections with regions of enhanced ion density. First beam has successfully been stored in FLSR in summer 2013. A reaction microscope has recently been installed in one of the experimental areas of FLSR, providing the possibility to investigate the reaction dynamics of vibrational cold molecules with target atoms. In this talk the ring-design, its verification and properties will be introduced and results from first experiments with the reaction microscope as well as perspectives for future experiments will be given.
