Abstract
We discuss recent achievements with the electron cooler at CELSIUS. This is used both for accumulation of ions, and for cooling the beam after acceler ation. A trick to artificially increase the electron beam energy spread in order to avoid instabilities is described. The diagnostics used for studyin g electron cooling is mentioned. Several explanations for the phenomenon of electron heating have been proposed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All ri ghts reserved.
