  The new electron cooler for COSY is built at BINP Novosibirsk. Electron beam commissioning is in progress. Installation in COSY and commissioning with proton beam is scheduled for the beginning of 2012. Beam cooling with up to 3 A of electron current at up to 2 MeV is expected to boost the luminosity in the entire energy range of COSY by counteracting the effects caused by dense targets interacting with the circulating beam. Furthermore, the 2 MeV electron cooler can be used for beam cooling at injection energy in the HESR ring in the FAIR project. The electron beam is guided by a solenoidal magnetic field all the way from the electron gun to the collector. A cascade transformer provides power to numerous high voltage sections, short solenoids, and the collector inside a pressure vessel filed with SF6 gas. Commissioning results are reported.

  An electron cooling method was proposed by G. Budker aproximately 50 years ago. Since the first demonstrations of strong cooling in 1972, the Novosibirsk Institute of Nuclear Physics has continued to develop this technique for various machines with increasingly higher energy beams. Recent application of the e-cooling method at LEIR appeared as a crucial application for a high luminosity achieved in lead-lead ion beam collisions at LHC. This talk should describe the fundamental mechanism of strong cooling, describe historical progress at the BINP and present recent results achieved at the LHC. New 2MeV cooler for COSY ring under commissioning just now at BINP.
