  Ions 197Au78+ are generated in recombination of original bare nuclei 197Au79+ with cooling electrons in the electron cooler of the NICA Collider. The ions 197Au78+ dynamics is considered in the in energy range 1–4.5 GeV/u when ion beam is bunched with RF voltage (collision mode operation of the NICA Collider). It is shown that some part of 197Au78+ ions can be involved in synchrotron motion when other part suffers a chaotic motion regime. Most of these ions live in vacuum chamber until further recombination in to the state of 197Au77+ and leave the Collider acceptance very fast. The evolution in time of ion distribution over the Collider aperture is presented.

  On the basis of experimental data the production of the ions Au78+ and Au77+ as a result of step-by-step radiative recombination of bare nuclei on free electrons in the NICA Collider electron cooling system is presented. The influence of Au78+ ions on the luminosity lifetime is discussed. The optimum working cycle of the NICA Collider is described.
