At time of commissioning at IMP at moment of initial beam with energy 50 kVstrong outgasing with preassure >3E-9 Torr

After backing electron beam with energy 50 keV wasused for final clearing vacuum chamber. Initial vacuum 2E-9 Torr and for beam 0.25A the sameoscillations at pickup electrodes was found. After fewhours training vacuum pressure go to 5E-10 Torr andoscillations disappear for current >1 A. The thresholdelectron current change inverse proportional vacuumpressure.

•Commissioning with electron beam both coolers was successful •Electrostatic bending means: low noise, better vacuum.•High perveanse electron beam with hollow beam will help •optimized cooling and decreased losses ion beam by recombination•Pancake design of magnet system showed reasonable accuracy•Gas isolation should calculated with more maximal voltage +30% •(for not perfect gas)!•Resistive damper at collector PS for operation with current more 1 A. •High level oscillations without this damping resistor. •Important to have commissioning with electron beam before •using at ion ring.

ConclusionElectron cooler was commissioning and operation at Novosibirsk and Lanzow with beam currentup to 3 A voltage with beam up to 275 kV, vacuumless 5E-11 Torr with electron beam 1 A.
