A pulsed UV laser system from HZDR was employed for this test laser cooling experiment. The closed 2s1/2―2p1/2 optical transition at a wavelength of 155.07 nm of the Li-like carbon ions was Doppler-shifted to be resonant with the UV-laser at the wavelength of 257.5 nm in the experiment. The injected number of C³⁺ ~5×10⁸,which was sufficient for testing laser cooling. Stable operation of the CSRe was observed over several days, including rf-bunching and diagnostic systems. The dynamics of the electron-cooled and RF-bunched ion beams were investigated systematically. However, first results did not yet indicate a strong interaction of the laser with the ions. Further data analysis is currently in progress. We will present the experimental results on this workshop, including Schottky spectra of electron-cooled and rf-bunched ion beams, fluorescence signals observed by the UV-sensitive PMT and CPM, and the planning of the upcoming laser cooling experiment at the CSRe.
