Summary:Synopsis The installation of a reaction microscope (COLTRIMS [1]) in the electrostatic Frankfurt Low Energy Storage Ring (FLSR) [2] has been completed. A first experiment, exploring the KER for dissociative electron transfer to HeH+ ions at 20 keV from a cold supersonic He gas target have been carried. Even at the moderate vacuum of 10−8 mbar a change of the KER and the Q value distribution due to cooling of the molecular ions during the storage time can be observed. In this contribution the final experiment, performed after heating the ring will be discussed.
