High-precision experiments at heavy-ion storage rings strongly benefit from cold ion beams, i.e. beams with a small longitudinal momentum spread and a small emittance. Especially for the higher ion intensities and Lorentz factors (γ) at FAIR (SIS100), laser cooling will be a powerful tool for cooling of relativistic bunched ion beams. The principle is based on resonant photon absorption (momentum & energy) in the longitudinal direction and subsequent spontaneous fluorescence (ion recoil) by the ions, combined with a moderate bunching of the ion beam. We will report on results from a 2021 laser cooling beamtime at the ESR. We could demonstrate - for the first time - broadband laser cooling of stored relativistic bunched ion beams, using a new pulsed UV laser system with a very high repetition rate (MHz), tunable pulse length, and high power.
