Abstract
A new ion trap for storing fast (keV) ion beams is presented. The trap, which is electrostatic, stores the ions between two electrostatic mirrors. Two different examples of utilization of the trap are given. The first one required the extraction of the trapped particles after storage, in order to study their collision with an external target, while the second example measured the lifetime of the mestastable He- levels. The advantage of storage using pure electrostatic fields is discussed.
