List of the electron cooling devices manufactured
from 1988:
LEAR, IUCF, TSR, CELSIUS, TARN-II, ESR,
CRYRING, ASTRID, COSY, USA (FNAL),
+ BINP – Germany SIS (1998), China (CSRm,
CSRe), Switzerland CERN
The possibility to storage and many-hours traps of the
charge ions in the different charge state enables to
produce a many interesting experiments in the nucleus
and atomic physics.
The New Experimental Storage
Ring NESR with its instrumentation
for atomic physics experiments
1. Electron cooler
2. Electron target
The NESR will be filled with energetic
highly-charged heavy ions and with exotic
nuclei. At the gas jet target ion-atom
reactions as well as the structure of ionized
atoms will be studied; x-ray spectroscopy,
zero-degree electron spectroscopy, recoilion-momentum spectroscopy, and laser
spectroscopy will be available. At the
electron target the atomic assisted electronelectron interaction will be studied; here
also laser techniques and x-ray spectroscopy
will support the experiments.. Moreover, the
highly-charged heavy ions can be
decelerated in the NESR down to the MeV/u
region and extracted toward a fixed target
area. There, atomic reactions with highlycharged ions at low velocities will be
performed; x-ray spectroscopic and laser
techniques will be applied.

Scheme of one section of the voltagedoubler rectifiers.
The rectifier is charged during time 2.5 ms, discharge during time
40 ms. Jointly use of two rectifiers allows reducing ramping time.
In this cause ramping time is 10 ms.
