Abstract
To enable the efficient investigation of some fundamental questions concerning the physics with low-energy antiprotons, a novel Ultra-low energy Storage Ring (USR) will be developed. Aiming to be a multipurpose machine, it puts challenging demands on the necessary beam instrumentation and requires new diagnostic methods as most of the standard techniques will no longer work. In this paper, beam diagnostics devices proposed for the USR are presented and their further development is discussed.
