  Recently,two longitudinal beam compression schemes have been successfully tested in the Experimental Storage Ring (ESR) at GSI with a beam of bare Ar ions at 65 MeV/u injected from the synchrotron SIS18. The first employs Barrier Bucket pulses, the second makes use of multiple injections around the unstable fixed point of a sinusoidal RF bucket at h=1. In both cases continuous application of electron cooling maintains the stack and merges it with the freshly injected beam. These experiments provide the proof of principle for the planned fast stacking of Rare Isotope Beams in the New Experimental Storage Ring (NESR) of the FAIR project.

  The accurate description of the internal target effects is important for the prediction of operation conditions which are required for the performance of experiments in the storage rings of the FAIR facility at GSI. A number of codes such as PTARGET, MOCAC, PETAG01 and BETACOOL have been developed to evaluate the beam dynamics in the storage ring, where an internal target in the combination with an electron cooling is applied. The systematic benchmarking experiments were carried out at the ESR storage ring at GSI. The ‘zero’ dispersion mode (dispersion at target position is about 0 m) was applied to evaluate the influence of the dispersion function on the beam parameters when the internal target is ON. The influence of the internal target on the beam parameters is demonstrated. Comparison of the experimental results with the Bethe-Bloch formula describing the energy loss of the beam particles in the target as well as with simulations with the BETACOOL code will be given.

  One dimensional beam ordering of electron cooled low intensity heavy ion beams has been evidenced at the ESR storage ring as a discontinuous reduction of the momentum spread. Depending on the beam parameters, technical imperfections or any sources of heating can hamper or even prevent the observation of the momentum spread reduction. Limitations for the detection of the ordered beam will be described and illustrated by experimental results.

  An effective ion beam accumulation method in NESR at FAIR project, is investigated with numerical way. The princile of accumulation method is as follows: Ion beam bunch from the collector ring or synchrotron is injected in the longitudinal gap space prepared by moving barrier voltage in NESR. Injected beam becomes instantly coasting beam after switching off the barrier voltage and is migrated with the previously stacked beam. After the momentum spread is well cooled by electron cooling, the barrier voltage is switched on and moved to prepare the empty gap space for the next injection. This process is repeated say 20 times to attain the required intensity. We have investigated this stacking process numerically, including the Intra Beam Scattering effect which might limit the stacking current in the ring. Detailed simulated results will be presented for the NESR case as well as the ESR experimental parameters.
