Abstract

Laser cooling and precision laser spectroscopy of highly charged ions are considered as frontiers of atomic physics research at heavy ion storage rings. A brief overview of the fundamentals of these powerful methods, applied to relativistic stored ion beams, is given. Preliminary results from laser cooling of lithium-like 16O5+ ion beams at a relativistic energy of 275.7 MeV/u at the heavy-ion storage ring CSRe are presented and prospects for upcoming experiments at the future facility HIAF are discussed.
