The coherent electron cooling (CeC)* device is one of the new facilities under construction in BNL. The CeC is a realization of the stochastic cooling with an electron beam serving as a pick-up and kicker. Hadrons generate electron density perturbations in the modulator section, then these perturbations are amplified in an FEL, and then, they accelerate (or decelerate) hadrons in the kicker by electric field with respect to their velocities. Here we present the theoretical description of the modulator sector**,***, where the electron density perturbations are formed and our new results on the time evolution of these perturbations in the FEL section, where they are amplified.
