research Materials research and ion membrane technology When materials are irradiated with heavy, high-energy ions, cylindrical zones are formed in certain materials along the ion path in which some of the [...] material's properties are modified. These zones, so-called latent ion tracks, can be selectively developed and processed using chemical etching methods. Membranes prepared in this way can be used in further

The desired beam energies below 10 MeV/u introduce new experimental challenges like windowless ions detection under UHV conditions, extremely [...] such exotic ions and to store them in the experimental storage ring, ESR, and eventually in the CRYRING. This setting allows one to use the limited intensities available for radioactive ions with maximum [...] efficiency. In a first step, fully-stripped ions are stored at beam energies below 10 MeV/u. Subsequently, nuclear reactions are introduced by colliding the stored ions with the internal jet target that consists

Electrons with arbitrary energy can now be used in the simulation to compensate the positive space charge of the ions close to the plasma boundary [...] multiple of the ion energy within the plasma. That is why the plasma electrode should be placed at a location with a homogeneous plasma density distribution. On the other side the required ions should be able [...] time stability and good pulse to pulse reproducibility of the ion beam. Following these boundary conditions experiments with different ion species were performed at the ECR injector test setup (EIS) which
