Experimental progress of the Munich Electrostatic Storage Ring (ESR) — •Adil W. Muggo, Chiara Brandenstein, Nils Doll, Peter Fierlinger, Dario Rückwarth, Wolfgang Schott, Vitus Schuster, Hans Th. J.

Stored ions or ionic molecules in a non-relativistic electrostatic storage ring can serve as a versatile platform for various fundamental experiments. Through precise control of beam dynamics and polarization, searches for electric dipole moments (EDMs) or axion-like particles (ALPs) become feasible in a rather unique and novel setting. Recent progress on the implementation of such a device is being discussed. Our experimental demonstrator comprises three subsystems: a laser ablation source for ion generation and acceleration, an injection beamline for beam focusing and transport, and the storage ring itself, where electrostatic elements confine the ions on stable trajectories. The current commissioning status of the setup is presented, as well as experimental challenges and first performance benchmarks.
