An RF cavity was designed and used as a sensitive resonant pickup for Schottky noise of single or few particle beams in the ESR at GSI. The particle-induced energy builds up inside the resonator and is extracted with a matched loop antenna. A dedicated signal analysis system is then used for further processing. To allow high current experiments, the resonator can be disabled by taking apart its air-filled parts and shorting its gap. The design allows remote detuning of the resonance frequency. The resonator complements the existing capacitive Schottky noise pickup at the ESR. Nuclear experiments with highly charged ions such as time-resolved Schottky mass spectrometry and life time measurements were performed with much higher sensitivity. A similar cavity is currently being installed in the CSRe at IMP, Lanzhou. We will discuss the principles and recent results of these detectors.
