  A radioactive 56Ni beam was successfully accumulated for an experiment with an internal hydrogen target at the storage ring ESR of GSI, Germany. The radioactive beam was produced and separated at the GSI fragment separator from a stable 58Ni beam. About 6·104 56Ni ions were injected into the ESR on a high relative momentum orbit. The beam was subjected to stochastic cooling, bunched and transported to a low relative momentum orbit where it was neither disturbed by the field of the partial aperture injection kicker nor by the fields of the stochastic cooling kickers. Slightly below this deposition momentum, the beam was accumulated and continuously cooled by means of electron cooling. For each experiment with internal hydrogen target, about 80 shots were injected consecutively, leading to a stored beam of roughly 5·106 particles.

  The High Energy Storage Ring (HESR) is designed and optimized to accumulate and store the anti-proton beam for the internal target experiment. The recent demand of atomic physics has impacted to use the HESR facility also as the storage ring of bare heavy ions. In this concept the bare heavy ions are injected at 740 MeV/u from the Collector Ring where the ions are well stochastically cooled to be matched with HESR ring acceptance. In the HESR the 2 MeV electron cooler is prepared with the maximal electron current of 3 A and the cooling length of 2.7 m. The electron cooling process of typically 238U92+ beam is simulated for the Hydogen and Xe internal target with simultaneous use of barrier voltage to compensate the mean energy loss caused by the interaction with internal target. In the present report the detailed simulation results of 6D phase space obtained by the particle tracking code are precisely discussed.

  The CR is dedicated ring for cooling of hot beam coming either from the antiproton separator or SFRS. It is anticipated that the understanding and control of the beam orbits will be important for achieving low beam losses. We describe our plans for measuring and correcting the COD of the CR. The closed orbit of the CR, which is distorted due to magnets misalignments, can reduce the ring acceptance by factor of 2, if a special correction system is not applied. The system, which is developed for the CR should be periodically or manually invoked to correct the global closed orbit and used to adjust the orbit position at some point using local bump. BPM and corrector magnets, which are planned to be used at the CR, are described in this paper. SVD method is used to obtain the corrector strength or corrector factors in global or local orbit correction.

  Today the challenge is to measure masses of exotic nuclei up to the limits of nuclear existence which are characterized by low production cross-sections and short half-lives. The large acceptance Collector Ring (CR) at FAIR tuned in the isochronous ion-optical mode offers unique possibilities for such measurements. Nonlinear field errors as well as fringe fields of the wide aperture quadrupoles and dipoles strongly excite the high-order aberrations which negatively affect the time resolution of the isochronous ring. Their influence is investigated here and a possible correction scheme is shown.
