The cooler synchrotron COSY accelerates and stores unpolarized and polarized protons and deuterons in the momentum range between 300 MeV/c to 3.65 GeV/c. To provide high quality beams, an Electron Cooler at injection and a Stochastic Cooling System from 1.5 GeV/c up to maximum momentum are available. Vertically polarized proton beams with a polarization of more than 0.80 are delivered to internal and external experimental areas at different momenta. Externally, the maximum momentum is up to date restricted to approximately 3.4 GeV/c by the extraction elements installed in COSY. In 2003 deuteron beams with different combinations of vector and tensor polarization were made available for internal and external experiments. An rf dipole was installed, which is used to induce artificial depolarizing resonances. It can be used for an accurate determination of the momentum of the stored beams. The status of the cooler synchrotron COSY is presented and future plans are discussed.

The future physics program at the Cooler-Synchrotron COSY in Jülich requires intense beams to provide high luminosities up to 1032cm-2s-1 for internal and external experiments. In 2003 the number of unpolarized protons could significantly be increased up to the theoretical space charge limit of COSY. This was achieved by careful study and adjustment of all subsystems in the accelerator chain of COSY. The intensities for polarized proton beams are at best an order of magnitude lower compared to one for unpolarized beams, depending on the beam current provided the injector cyclotron. Still there is some potential for further enhancement of polarized beam intensities. In this paper, luminosity considerations for polarized and unpolarized beams at COSY are presented taking into account different machine cycles and operation modes for internal and external experimental set-ups.

In cooperation of iThemba LABS (South Africa) and Forschungszentrum Juelich the specification of a sensitive tunable rf narrowband beam position monitor system for cyclotron beamlines has been elaborated. iThemba LABS developed and manufactured the four section stripline monitor chamber. The monitor electronics were developed in the Forschungszentrum Juelich-IKP. The electronics consisting of an RF signal processing module (BPM-RF) and a data acquisition and control module (BPM-DAQ) sequentially processes and measures the monitor signals and deliver via serial network calculated horizontal and vertical beam position data. First measurements with cyclotron beam has been performed in the iThemba LABS in November 2003. Changed beam position due to changing different cyclotron parameters could be studied with high accuracy. The resolution of the beam position measurement was better than 0.1 mm with beam currents down to 0.0005 mA.

In many CRYRING experiments an accurate measurement of the circulating ion beam current is essential for determination of e.g. absolute cross sections. However, the current produced from the ion source can be very low. Furthermore, when surface barrier detectors are used, for example in the merged electron-ion beam experiments, the current has to be kept low to avoid saturation. With new electronics, using an Integrating Current Transformer with 5 V/A sensitivity, the current resolution of the Bergoz Beam Charge Monitor (BCM) has been increased to below 1 nA for bunched beams. The sum signal of the capacitive pick-up located at the farthest point from the RF-system is integrated by a second gated integrator. The RMS resolution is about 100 pA. To measure the intensity of coasting beams neutral particle detectors and a residual-gas beam profile monitor are used, calibrated with the BCM output during 20-100 ms after acceleration. The micro-channel plate detectors can handle a few Mcps count rate with a maximum 1 cps dark count rate. Presently a 50 Mcps secondary electron multiplier is being tested as a neutral particle monitor, having a maximum dark count rate of 0.05 cps
