description

Abstract Experiments with relativistic ions at the test storage ring TSR [P. Baumann et al., Nucl. Instr. and Meth. A268 (1988) 531] demonstrate the potential of the interaction of laser light with energetic stored ions for spectroscopic purposes as well as for manipulation of the ion velocity. Latest results for Li+ ions are reported. At the ion energies available at ESR [B. Franzke, Nucl. Instr. and Meth. B24 B25 (1987) 19] it will become possible to prepare and store bare ions up to U92+. Experiments using these exotic beams are discussed and an outlook to the situation at even higher energies is given.
