Conclusion • Electron cooling permits to form ion beams at high phase space density, howeverthe problems of beam stability specific for electron cooler ringsappear. 2. First problem relates to interaction of an ion circulating in the ring with nonlinear field of cooling electron beam. 3. Second problem is connected with development of coherent instability in cooled ion beam. 4. The thresholdof this instability can be reduced when “secondary” ions of residual gas are being stored in the cooling electron beam. 5. The thresholdof this instability can beincreasedwhen feedback system and control of “the natural neutralization” (with a shaker, for instance) are applied.
