note = "Funding Information: Studying nuclear reactions at heavy ion storage rings offers a wealth of new possibilities. To exploit these opportunities, new rings are being considered for construction around the world, e.g. in TRIUMF (Canada) [11] and CERN [12] . This work will describe specifically the commissioning of the CRYRING Array for Reaction MEasurement (CARME), at the low-energy CRYRING storage ring [13–16] , part of FAIR [17,18] at GSI. CARME is a purpose-built detection array funded by the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council [19] to carry out high-resolution measurements of nuclear reactions using radioactive ions stored at CRYRING. This is at present the only ring in the entire world where radioactive beams produced in-flight can be stored and decelerated at energies MeV/u, allowing measurement of nuclear reactions at or below Coulomb barrier energies, using pure radioactive beams of species unavailable elsewhere. CARME was designed for high-energy and angular resolution studies of nuclear reactions either upstream, or downstream, or both of an in-ring cryogenic jet target mounted at CRYRING. Funding Information: CARME was designed, built and commissioned thanks to the funding provided by UK STFC via the ISOL-SRS grant (Project ST/M001652/1 ). J.G., Yu. L. and T. S. also gratefully acknowledge support by the State of Hesse within the Research Cluster ELEMENTS (Project ID 500/10.006 ). Publisher Copyright: {\textcopyright} 2022 The Author(s)",
