Bussmann, M.; Schramm, U.; Winters, D. F. A.; Wen, W.; Walther, T.; Birkl, G.; Nörtershäuser, W.; Novotny, C.; Geppert, C.; Kühl, T.; Kozhuharov, C.; Nolden, F.; Dimopoulou, C.; Steck, M.; Stöhlker, T.

We present the setup for a new beam time on laser cooling of relativistic C3+ ion beams at the Experimental Storage Ring at GSI.
With laser cooling it becomes possible to reach very small relative momentum spread down to dp/p=10-7 even at high-energy storage rings.
With new laser sources and new optical diagnostics it will become possible to detect the onset of beam ordering expected for ultra-cold ion beams.

Keywords: laser cooling; ion beam; relativistic; strong coupling; optical diagnostics; laser sources
