  1. Polarized H- and D- Beams at COSY/Jülich • Facility overview  • Ion sources at COSY • R&D details • Cs ionizer • Extraction • Actual investigations (ABS, LSP) • Summary and outlook

  2. The COSY Facility COoler SYnchrotron • 0.6 .. 3.65 GeV/c p and d • polarized beams • beam cooling • internal and external detectors for the investigation of nuclear quark structure and dynamics, fundamental symmetries and e.g. exotic mesons, rare decays

  3. The COSY Injector
