  The cooler synchrotron COSY delivers unpolarized and polarized protons and deuterons in the momentum range 300 MeV/c up to 3.65 GeV/c. Electron cooling at injection level and stochastic cooling covering the range from 1.5 GeV/c up to maximum momentum are available to prepare high precision beams for internal as well as for external experiments in hadron physics. In case of electron cooled beam the intensity is limited by transverse instabilities. The major losses are due to the vertical coherent beam oscillations. To damp these instabilities a transverse feedback system is under construction. First results with a simple feedback system are presented. Due to the feedback system operation the intensity and lifetime of the electron cooled proton beam at injection energy could be significantly increased. Measurements in frequency and time domain illustrate the performance of the system.
