A Low Energy Ion Ring (LEIR) is a type of particle accelerator, specifically designed to accumulate and compress low-energy ions. LEIR is particularly notable in the context of accelerator facilities like CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research), where it plays an important role in the preparation of ion beams for high-energy physics experiments. ### Key Features and Functions of LEIR: 1. **Ion Accumulation**: LEIR is used to accumulate and compress ions coming from an ion source.
