Storage Rings
- Michiharu Wada (Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Science)
Electron scattering is a powerful tool for studying nuclear structure, because it allows model-independent studies of nuclear structure. For example, the charge density distribution of nuclei can be determined very accurately by electron elastic scattering. Therefore, electron scattering has been long awaited in the study of unstable nuclei, especially short-lived unstable nuclei.

In storage ring-based mass spectrometry, charged particles with nonzero emittance exhibit characteristic betatron oscillations in the transverse plane. The effects of the betatron oscillation on the revolution time has been observed in previous isochronous mass measurement experiments in HIRFL-CSRe. However, one cannot distinguish the pure betaron oscillation effects from the effects of...
Isochronous mass spectrometry (IMS) is one of mass measurement methods particularly effective for short-lived nuclei. In this method, a storage ring is used to measure the revolution time of the particles. Since the revolution times of the particles are proportional to the mass-to-charge ratios of the particles, the nuclear masses can be deduced using IMS. One of the storage rings for IMS is...
Heavy, highly charged ions stored at low energy are ideal probes for various questions of modern physics that range from tests of QED, especially at high fields, to detailed investigations of nuclear reactions. CRYRING@ESR is a low energy storage ring transferred from Stockholm, Sweden, to Darmstadt in order to profit from the exceptional production capabilities of exotic ions at GSI,...
