Studies on electron cooling of heavy particle beams made by the VAPP-NAP group at the Nuclear Physics Institute of the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Science at Novosibirsk

This report consists of three parts: the first one is a summary report of electron cooling studies, both theoretical and experimental, which were performed during the years 1966-1976. The second part, which describes the electron beam device for the electron cooling experiments, is the translation of a Novosibirsk preprint. Finally, a bibliography of papers on electron cooling and related problems is given in part three. (Auth.)
