COMMISSION OF ELECTRON COOLER EC-300 FOR HIRFL-CSR

HIRFL-CSR, a new ion accelerator complex, is under construction at IMP, Lanzhou, China. It is equipped with two electron cooling devices. This article describes the commissioning of cooler at electron energy 300 keV. The cooler is one of the new coolers with some unique manufactured in BINP, Russia. It has a new electron gun producing a hollow electron beam, electrostatic bending and a new structure of solenoid coils at the cooling section. The test results of cooler obtained in Novosibirsk and Lanzhou are reported.
