Popis: One of the central utilizations of the COSY facility nowadays is to host experiments for the JEDI (Jülich Electric Dipole moment Investigations) collaboration. These experiments use polarized deuteron beams at momenta below 1 GeV/c, that are stored for several minutes. In order to increase the spin coherence time, beam cooling is necessary. Electron cooling is applied to pre-cool the beam, but the solenoids of the electron cooler may not be perfectly compensated. Thus, stochastic cooling would be desirable instead. Unfortunately, the existing stochastic cooling system is not sensitive at low beam velocities. This paper presents newly developed stochastic cooling pickups and kickers for a system dedicated to low beam velocities of approximately 0.5c. The design is based on the slot-ring type pickups that have been developed for the High Energy Storage Ring (HESR), but optimized for low particle velocities and a low frequency band of 350-700 MHz. Since the structures get much bigger in comparison to the HESR version, mechanical properties must be reconsidered and a trade-off between electrical properties, cooling performance and constructability must be found.
