Abstract

A short survey is given on heavy-ion cooler projects which are being planned or built at various places in the world. The principle of phase-space cooling of ion beams by electrons, which will be essential for the success of all these projects, is discussed Special emphasis is given to the cooler ring to be built at GSI and to possible future experiments to be performed at this facility Besides projects addressing problems of nuclear physics, β-decay and hyperfine interactions, possible atomic physics experiments are discussed. It is shown that the cooler ring ofters excellent possibilities for investigations in fields such as precision spectroscopy, resonance processes and fundamental questions.
