In ring experiments at the heavy ion storage ring, using a reaction microscope, require highly charged bunched ion beams with bunch length below 5 ns. Small longitudinal ion profiles can be obtained by bunching the ion beam with electron cooling. The measured short bunch lengths are determined by the space charge limit. To over come the space charge limit and to further minimize the bunch lengths, the TSR was operated at a momentum compaction factor 1.57, a mode in which the revolution frequency at higher energies decreased. During this beam time, self-bunching of the ion beam was observed for the first time in the TSR. To provide highly charge ions at the TSR deceleration is required. Deceleration experiments are mainly carried out with ¹²C⁶⁺ ions to investigate the behavior and evolution of the beam during deceleration. To explore the deceleration cycle, ¹²C⁶⁺ ions are decelerated from 73.3 MeV to 9.77 MeV. To achieve this low energy two cooling steps at the initial and final beam energies are applied. Electron pre-cooling results in a dense ion beam where IBS has to be taken into account to describe the development of the beam size during deceleration.
