Description
For the LEIR project, a new cooler has been constructed in collaboration with BINP
Novosibirsk. It will deliver up to 600 mA of electron current at an energy of 2.3
keV (corresponding to the lead ion energy of 4.2 MeV/u) and has the advantage that
the radius and density profile can be varied to match the characteristics of the
injected lead ion beam. The device was delivered at the end of 2004 and
commissioning of the device began in November of this year with the first cooling
of O4+ ions just one day after having obtained a stable 200 mA electron beam.
