Description
The upcoming facility HITRAP (Highly Charged Ion TRAP) at GSI will enable high-precision atomic-physics investigations on heavy, highly charged ions at extremely low energies. Species up to U92+ will be produced at the GSI accelerator complex by stripping of relativistic ions and injected into the Experimental Storage Ring (ESR) where they are electron-cooled and decelerated to 4 MeV/u. After ejection out of the ESR and further deceleration in a linear decelerator bunches of 105 ions will be injected into a Penning trap and cooled to 4 K via electron and resistive cooling. Simulations with a Particle-In-Cell (PIC) code have been carried out to study the dynamics of the ion cloud in the Cooler Trap with focus on resistive cooling in presence of space charge.
