Ion Optics of the HESR Storage Ring at FAIR for Operation with Heavy Ions — •Oleksandr Kovalenko, Oleksiy Dolinskyy, Yuri Litvinov, and Thomas Stoehlker — GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH, Darmstadt

High Energy Storage Ring (HESR) of the FAIR project is primarily designed for internal target experiments with stored and cooled antiprotons, which is the main objective of the PANDA collaboration. However, the HESR storage ring also appears to have remarkable properties to carry out physics experiments with heavy ions. This paper proposes a new ion optical design allowing for the heavy ion operation mode of the HESR. The main goal was to provide an optics which meets the requirements of the future experiments with heavy ion beams. In connection, issues like closed orbit correction, dynamic aperture as well as other characteristics of beam dynamics of the new ion optical setup are under analysis in this study.
