Abstract

The experimental conditions of electron cooling in storage rings with magnetically confined electron beams are discussed. Particular attention is paid to "fast" electron cooling, which will be important for low-energy ion storage rings. Measurements of cooling rates and of equilibrium ion beam temperatures are reviewed. A short report is given on the recent development work for electron cooling at the CERN Low-Energy Antiproton Ring (LEAR), and on related electron beam diagnostic experiments. Conclusions are drawn in view of electron cooling at future ion storage rings.
