Preparations for laser cooling of relativistic heavy-ion beams at the CSRe

Measurement of the ratio of C 3+ and O 4+ ions produced by ECRIS to prepare a laser cooling experiment at storage rings

“…The laser cooling of relativistic C 3 þ ion beams at the experimental cooler storage ring (CSRe) is being currently prepared at Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) in Lanzhou [15][16][17]. An electron cyclotron resonance ion source (ECRIS) [18] will be used to produce C 3 þ ion beams.…”
