  A Status report on the ongoing developments for the demanding stochastic cooling system of the Collector Ring is given. The system operates in the frequency band 1-2 GHz, it has to provide fast 3D cooling of antiproton, rare isotope and stable heavy ion beams. The main challenges are (i) the cooling of antiprotons by means of cryogenic movable pick-up electrodes and (ii) the fast two-stage cooling (pre-cooling by the Palmer method, followed by the notch filter method) of the hot rare isotope beams. Progress in designing, testing and integrating the hardware is discussed.

  An overview of the recent developments regarding the RF signal processing for the stochastic cooling system of the Collector Ring is given. In focus are the developments of generic RF components which can be used at different locations within the signal paths between the pick-up and kicker tanks in the frequency band 1-2 GHz. Two of these components are discussed in detail, a power meter with high dynamic range (+9 dBm to -68 dBm), low phase distortion (± 0.75deg(max)) and low attenuation (≤ 0.4dB) and a variable phase shifter with exceptionally flat amplitude (± 0.4dB(max)) and linear phase response (± 3.5deg(max)). Furthermore, we present the status and the newest enhancements of other components with stringent specifications, such as optical notch filters, pick-up module controllers, variable attenuators, beta-switch combiners and the power amplifiers at the kickers.
