✦ Synopsis

COSY Jiilich is a cooler synchrotron and storage ring delivering high precision beams with at present up to 5.101° protons with momenta between 600 MeV/c and 3.3 GeV/c for medium energy physics. Two cooling systems are used to accomplish this goal. An electron-cooling system that reaches up to a momentum of 645 MeV/c and a stochastic cooling system that covers the upper momentum range from 1500 to 3300 MeV/c. Since its inauguration in April 1993 substantial progress in developing beams for internal and external experiments has been achieved and the physics program is now running. At the beginning of 1996 a polarized proton beam could be successfully accelerated up to 820 MeV/c for the first time.
