Abstract
Cooling the antiproton and proton beam in the SPS collider by high energy electron cooling can increase the luminosity lifetime and facilitate the operation of the machine. The electron beam is stored in a small ring tangent to the straight section where electrons and antiprotons or protons can interact. The requirements for such a storage ring are summarized and an example for a lattice is shown. The limitation of the electron current and the beam emittances due to intra-beam scattering and the effect on the cooling time are considered in detail. The possibility of cooling by a magnetized electron beam is discussed. It seems that cooling times in the order of 1000 s can be achieved.
