摘要

Abstract

In this work we present the test run results for the electron cooling system at the Booster synchrotron, which were conducted at the Nuclotron-based Ion Collider facility (NICA) injection complex in 2020–2023. We have demonstrated a successful cooling of the ⁵⁶Fe¹⁴⁺ and ¹²⁴Xe²⁸⁺ ion beams at the injection energy 3.2 MeV/u. In this work, we provide parameters of the ion and electron beams, as well as a detailed description of the tuning procedures used for the e-cooling system during the experiments.
