Facilities at ISA

At ISA, we have several facilities for the production and storage of ions, electrons and positrons. 

ASTRID Ion/electron storage ring.

ELISA Electrostatic ion storage ring.

Beam Extraction 580 MeV electron beam

• ASTRID is the longest running facility and consists of a storage ring equipped with ion and electron injector systems. Ions of either polarity or electrons can be stored and accelerated. For experiments with stored ions, imaging, neutral particle and/or photon detectors can be used to study the effects of electron-cooling, laser-cooling or to measure ion lifetimes. Seven synchrotron radiation (SR) beamlines cover a wide photon energy range from the visible to the X-Ray region supporting a diverse SR research program. 
   
• ASTRID2: In December 2008 ISA was awarded 37 MKr for the construction of a new synchrotron storage ring ASTRID2.
  
  • ASTRID2 plan
  • Time line
  • ASTRID2 status
  • Documents relating to ASTRID2
  
   
• ELISA is an electrostatic storage ring with an ion injector. ELISA is capable of storing a wider range of ions than ASTRID.
   
• Finally we offer a DC beam of 580 MeV electrons extracted from ASTRID.
