The ongoing investigations on the design of the Figure-8 Storage Ring at Frankfurt University focus on the beam injection. The research includes simulations as well as a scaled down experiment. The studies for an optimized adiabatic magnetic injection channel, starting from a moderate magnetic field up to a maximum of 6 Tesla, with a realistic field model of toroidal coils due to beam dynamics with space charge will be shown. For the envisaged ExB kicker system the simulations deal with beam potential constraints and a multi-turn injection concept in combination with an adiabatic magnetic compression. To investigate the concept of the beam injection into a toroidal magnetic field, a scaled down room temperature experiment is implemented at the university. It is composed of two 30 degree toroidal segments, two volume ion sources, two solenoids and two different types of beam detectors. The experiment is used to investigate the beam transport and dynamics of the laterally injected and " circulating " beam through the magnetic configuration. To set up the injection experiment, theoretical calculations and beam simulations with bender are used.
