Description
The Figure-8 Storage Ring (F8SR) is an innovative concept designed for storing low energy (<1MeV) proton and ion beams in stellarator-like geometry within strong magnetic field level (B~6-7T). Preliminary studies, presented at previous IPAC conferences, established key design principles and demonstrated the feasibility of a compact ring structure capable of high current beam confinement over extended periods. The unique figure-eight geometry supports long-term beam confinement, essential for fusion experiments within beam-plasma system and colliding beams optics. The experimental program included investigations of the magnetic lattice, orbit stability, beam diagnostics and vacuum performance, supported by simulations and prototype measurements. Results confirmed the reliability of the beam optical design and guided optimization of magnetic field configuration. A Technical Design Concept is now being prepared to define the full-scale implementation of the F8SR, consolidating engineering requirements and scientific objectives toward establishing an international platform for high-current beam studies.
