At heavy-ion storage rings, almost all experiments strongly benefit from cooled ion beams, i.e. beams which have a small longitudinal momentum spread and a small emittance. During the last two decades, laser cooling has proven to be a powerful tool for relativistic bunched ion beams, and its "effectiveness" is expected to increase further with the Lorentz factor (γ). The technique is based on resonant absorption (of photon momentum & energy) in the longitudinal direction and subsequent spontaneous random emission (fluorescence & ion recoil) by the ions, combined with moderate bunching of the ion beam. Laser cooling can also achieve a stronger and faster cooling than electron and stochastic cooling. We will report on recent (May 2021) preliminary results from a laser cooling test beamtime at the ESR at GSI in Darmstadt, Germany. We will also present our plans and progress for laser cooling experiments at FAIR (SIS100).
