USING ELECTRON COOLING FOR OBTAINING ION BEAM WITH HIGH INTENSITY AND BRIGHTNESS

Electron cooling is used for damping both transverse and longitudinal oscillations of heavy particle. This effect is widely used in the existing and is being designed storage rings. This article describes the last experiments with electron cooling carried out on the cooler EC-300 produced by BINP. The ultimate sizes of the ion beam are discussed. The accumulated experience may be used for the project of electron cooler on 2 MeV (COSY) for obtaining high intensity proton beam with internal target. Using electron beam enables to have physics experiment with high quality of the ion beams at despite of the target interaction.
