| The accurate description of beam-target effects is important for the prediction of operation conditions in terms of high luminosity and beam quality in the FAIR facility at GSI. Numerical models have been developed to evaluate beam dynamics in ion storage rings, where strong cooling in combination with a dense target is applied. First systematic benchmarking experiments were carried out at the existing ESR storage ring at GSI. The influence of the internal target on the beam parameters is demonstrated. Comparison of experimental results with simple models describing the energy loss of the beam particles in the target as well as with more sophisticated simulations with the BETACOOL code will be given. |
