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 modularized start version of the FAIR project, the New Experimental Storage Ring is not included and therefore the task of the stochastic cooling system at the Collector Ring (CR) has been until now focused on the 3 GeV anti-proton beam. On the other hand, recently the SPARC collaboration has proposed to start the high energy atomic physics experiments in the HESR ring with stable ions, typically a ²³⁸U⁹²⁺ beam, implementing the internal target. Furthermore the future possibility of the nuclear physics experiments with rare isotope beams, typically ¹³²Sn⁵⁰⁺ beam, in the HESR is envisaged. In the present report, the beam dynamics, mainly the longitudinal motion from the front-end (superconducting fragment separator) to the back-end (fast extraction from the CR) are described emphasizing the process of stochastic cooling of the rare isotope beam.

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

RF-System for Stochastic Cooling in the FAIR Collector Ring

The collector ring (CR) of the FAIR project is designed for fast stochastic cooling of rare isotope and antiproton beams injected at different velocities. A flexible rf signal processing scheme for the stochastic cooling system will be presented. It includes cooling with time of flight (TOF), notch filter and Palmer methods. A Palmer pick-up with Faltin electrodes is foreseen for pre-cooling of hot rare isotope beams. For TOF and notch filter methods, a horizontal and a vertical pick-up tank with movable cryogenic slotline electrodes for ions with two different velocities is under development. The layout of this slotline pick-up tank will also be presented.

We present new results on broadband laser cooling of stored relativistic C³⁺ ion beams at the ESR in Darmstadt. For the first time we could show laser cooling of bunched relativistic ion beams using a UV-laser which could scan over a very large range and thus cool all the ions in the ‘bucket’. This scheme is much more versatile than a previous scheme, where the bunching frequency was scanned relative to a fixed laser frequency. We have also demonstrated that this cooling scheme works without pre-electron cooling, which is a pre-requisite for its general application to future storage rings and synchrotrons, such as the HESR and the SIS100 at FAIR. We also present results from in vacuo UV-fluorescence detectors, which have proven to be very effective.
