Modern rare isotope facilities provide beams of shortlived radionuclides primarily for studies in the field of nuclear structure, nuclear astrophysics, and low energy particle physics. At these facilities, many activities such as re-acceleration, improvement of resolving power, and precision experimental measurements require charge breeding of ions. However, the charge breeding process can increase the energy spread of an ion bunch, adversely affecting the experiment. A Cooler Penning Trap (CPET) is being developed to address such an energy spread by means of sympathetic electron cooling of the Highly Charged Ion bunches to . 1 eV/q. Recent work has focused on developing a strategy to effectively detect the trapped electron plasma without obstructing the passage of ions through the beamline. The first offline tests demonstrate the ability to trap and detect more than 108 electrons. This was achieved by using a novel wire mesh detector as a diagnostic tool for the electrons.

  Muon accelerators have been proposed as a means to produce intense, high energy muon beams for particle physics. Designs call for beam cooling to provide suitable beams. Existing cooling schemes cannot operate on time scales that are competitive with the muon lifetime. Ionisation cooling has been proposed as a means to achieve sufficient cooling, but it has never been demonstrated practically. In the Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment (MICE), based at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, ionisation cooling will be demonstrated. MICE Step IV is currently in progress and will be completed in 2016. Muons are brought onto an absorber, resulting in a reduction of momentum and hence reduction of normalised transverse emittance. The full Demonstration of Ionisation Cooling will take place in 2017. An extra magnet module and RF cavities will be installed, as in a cell of a cooling channel. This will enable demonstration of reduction of emittance and subsequent re-acceleration, both critical components for a realistic ionisation cooling channel.

  The Rare-RI Ring (R3) is an isochronous storage ring to measure masses of short-lived rare nuclei by using a TOF method*. The expected precision of the measured mass will be of the order of ppm. A commissioning run using a 78Kr beam was performed in June 2015 and basic performances of R3 were verified. We succeeded in injecting a particle, which was randomly produced from a DC beam from cyclotrons, into the R3 individually** with a fast kicker system***, and in extracting the particle from the R3 1 ms after the injection. We measured TOF of the 78Kr particles between the entrance and the exit of the R3 to check the isochronism. Through the first-order adjustment with trim-coils imbedded on the dipole magnets of the R3, the isochronism on the 10-ppm order was achieved for the momentum spread of ±0.2 %. Higher-order adjustment employed in future will lead us to the isochronism on the order of ppm. In addition, we confirmed that a resonance-type Schottky pick-up successfully acquired the revolution frequency information of one particle in a storage mode. In this conference, the technical aspects of the R3 and prospects from the results of the beam commissioning will be discussed.
