  For the proposed High Energy Storage Ring (HESR) at FAIR, it is foreseen to install an electron cooling device with a beam current of 3 A and a beam energy of 8 MeV. A test set-up was built at Helmholtz-Insitut Mainz (HIM) to conduct a feasibility study. One of the main goals of the test set-up is to evaluate the gun design proposed by TSL (Uppsala) with respect to vacuum handling, EM fields and the resulting beam parameters. Another purpose of the set-up is to achieve an energy recuperation efficiency of 1 - 10-5. To measure this quantity, a Wien filter has to be employed, which will also prove capable of mitigating collection losses. The current status of the project will be presented.

  Recent developments in the field of high intensity electron beams in the regime below 10 MeV, e.g. energy recovery linacs or magnetized high energy electron coolers, have led to special demands on the beam diagnostics. Since commonly used diagnostic tools like synchrotron radiation and scintillation screens are ineffective or not able to withstand the beam power without being damaged, new methods are needed. Hence a beam profile measurement system based on beam induced fluorescence (BIF) was built. This quite simple system images the light generated by the interaction of the beam with the residual gas onto a PMT. A more elaborated system, the Thomson Laser Scanner (TLS) - the non-relativistic version of the Laser Wire Scanner - is proposed as a method for non-invasive measurement of all phase space components, especially in the injector and merger parts of an ERL. Both methods are implemented in a 100 keV photo gun. Beam profile measurements with BIF as well as first results of the TLS will be presented.
