To study electron cooling in a synchrotron nondestructive methods only are suitable. The ionization profile monitor (IPM) delivers real-time data in both transverse planes allowing detailed analysis of beam profile evolution in COSY. First attempts to use scintillation of residual gas (SPM) to measure beam profiles were very promising. Beam diagnostics based on recombination is usually used to optimize electron cooling of protons (H0-diagnostics). However, it is not available when cooling antiprotons. So the IPM and possibly the SPM are vital for electron cooling optimization in the HESR ring. The new beam instrumentation at COSY is introduced and its relevance for the new 2 MeV electron cooler project and the HESR are discussed. Results of beam studies performed during electron cooling beam times at COSY are presented. |
