The Installation of the HITRAP Cooler Trap — Frank Herfurth1, Oliver Kester1, Heinz-Jürgen Kluge1, •Stephen Koszudowski1, Christophor Kozhuharov1, Giancarlo Maero1, Wolfgang Quint1, and Stefan Schwarz2 — 1GSI, 64291 Darmstadt, Germany — 2NSCL/MSU, East Lansing, USA
With the HITRAP facility the means are given to trap and cool heavy highly charged ions up to U92+ in order to perform experiments on atomic properties. These include collision studies, precision measurements and hyperfine spectroscopy. Within the Cooler Trap 10e5 particles will be cooled by electron and resistive cooling down to 4K. the particles in the trap will be detected nondestructively by FT-ICR. Right now the Cooler Trap is being installed at GSI. We give a status overview and show results of the commissioning.
