At the FAIR heavy-ion synchrotron SIS100, it is planned to reduce the longitudinal momentum spread and the emittance of stored heavy-ion beams using laser cooling. For the understanding and optimization of bunched beam laser cooling (of relativistic highly charged ions) simulations play a critical role. In this work, laser cooling of bunched ion beams using both continuous and pulsed laser light, and their combination, is being investigated. The relevant parameters and their effects on the final beam properties are being studied. Insights from these simulations aim to enhance the efficiency of laser cooling for future SIS100 experiments.
