Professor H. Stöcker GSI, Darmstadt 4 th May 2012 Dear Professor Stöcker, On behalf of the ILIMA collaboration, I would like to express strong support for the CRYRING@ESR project, with the future option of a connection to the Super-FRS. One of the main facilities for the ILIMA experimental program is the New Experimental Storage Ring (NESR), which is however outside the start-up version of FAIR. As has often been stressed, this significantly delays the realisation of the planned storage-ring experimental programs, and it could also cause irreversible negative consequences for the associated experimental communities. A novel possibility is now under consideration. Installation of the CRYRING coupled to the present ESR will extend the physics capabilities by enabling the production, in the near future, of highly ionized heavy ions at the lowest kinetic energies. This project has very high experimental discovery potential, including for ILIMA-related experiments. For instance, searching for the Nuclear Excitation by Electron Capture (NEEC) and the Nuclear Excitation by Electron Transition (NEET) phenomena will become possible. Therefore, we support an early construction of the CRYRING coupled to the ESR. It is important to emphasise that there is a future option which foresees the connection of the present ESR to the Super-FRS. This is extremely attractive for the ILIMA collaboration. It will enable the possibility of performing ILIMA experiments with cooled exotic ions in the ESR, with the highest secondary-beam intensities which will be available from the Super-FRS. This transitional arrangement would enable us to cover part of the ILIMA experimental program prior to the realisation of the NESR. Furthermore, the novel detector setups, which are foreseen for the NESR experiments, can be built and implemented for real physics experiments in the ESR under FAIR
conditions, which will allow us to prepare in the best way for experiments in the NESR. Overall, we see the CRYRING@ESR as a very timely and important step towards the success of the storage-ring scientific program at FAIR. Yours sincerely, Phil Walker Spokesperson for the ILIMA Collaboration
