Scale Down Experiments for a Stellarator type Magnetostatic Storage Ring

The beam transport experiments in toroidal magnets were first described in EPAC08 [1] within the framework of a proposed low energy ion storage ring at Frankfurt University. The experiments with two room temperature 30 degree toroids are needed to design the accumulator ring with closed longitudinal magnetic field levels up to 6-8 T. The test setup aims on developing a ring injection system. The primary beam line for the experiments was installed and successfully commissioned in 2009. A special probe for ion beam detection was installed. This modular technique allows online diagnostics of the ion beam along the beam path. In this paper, we present new results on beam transport experiments and discuss transport and transverse beam injection properties of that system.
