NICA will provide colliding beams for study of hot strongly interacting baryonic matter and spin physics. The NICA injection complex includes a tandem of 2 superconducting synchrotrons: Booster (up to 600 MeV/u) and Nuclotron (up 3.9 GeV/u fully stripped heavy ions). Since the start of injection complex commissioning in 2020 its four Runs were carried out. To the present time the beams of He, Fe, C and Xe were accelerated. Booster electron cooling was first used for cooling of continuous Fe¹⁴⁺ beam at the energy of 3.2 MeV/u in Run II. In the last Run we demonstrated longitudinal cooling of Xe²⁸⁺ in the presence of RF voltage at the Booster injection energy. This regime is required for accumulation in Booster the intensity required for Collider operation. The cooling enabled a 2 times intensity increase of slow extracted beam from Nuclotron. Optimization of Booster electron cooling for beam accumulation will be carried out in the next Run. Another (high voltage) electron cooling system will be used in the NICA Collider rings for ion accumulation in a barrier bucket and consecutive bunch formation.
