Design of a Combined Fast and Slow Extraction for the Ultra-low Energy Storage Ring (USR)

The Ultra-Low energy Storage Ring (USR) within the future Facility for Low-energy Antiproton and Ion Research (FLAIR) will decelerate antiproton beams from 300 keV to energies of only 20 keV. Cooled beams will then be extracted and provided to external experiments. The large variety of planned experiments requires a highly flexible longitudinal time structure of the extracted bunches, ranging from ultra-short pulses in the nanosecond regime to quasi DC beams. This requires fast as well as slow extraction in order to cover whole range of envisaged beam parameters. A particular challenge was to combine elements for fast and slow extraction in one straight section of this electrostatic ring. In this contribution we present the results of beam dynamic simulations and describe the overall extraction scheme in detail.
