  An overview of the recent achievements and ongoing developments for the stochastic cooling system of the Collector Ring is given. In focus are the hardware developments as well as the progress in predicting the system performance. The system operates in the frequency band 1-2 GHz, it has to provide fast 3D cooling of antiproton, rare isotope and stable heavy ion beams. The main challenges are (i) the cooling of antiprotons by means of cryogenic movable pick-up electrodes and (ii) the fast two-stage cooling (pre-cooling by the Palmer method, followed by the notch filter method) of the hot rare isotopes. Recently, a novel code for simulating the cooling process in the time domain has been developed at CERN. First results for the momentum cooling for heavy ions in the CR will be shown in comparison with results obtained in the frequency domain with the Fokker-Planck equation.

  In the frame of the development for the FAIR facility at GSI, notch filter cooling is essential for the stochastic cooling system of the CR (Collector Ring). A prototype notch filter based on optical components has been developed and built. The focus was to achieve sufficient notch depth and low dispersion of the filter transfer function. The compact optical notch filter was integrated into the ESR stochastic cooling system. Momentum cooling of heavy ion beams was successfully demonstrated. The layout of the notch filter as well as experimental results are presented
