Stochastic cooling is an effective and well-established accelerator technology for improving beam quality. However, stochastic cooling of high frequency bunched beam has always proved problematic. We have built a stochastic cooling system for heavy ions in RHIC that is used on bunched beam. The purpose is to counteract Intra-Beam Scattering and improve integrated luminosity. The chief technical challenge of bunched beam is the strong coherent frequency components in the beam that contaminate the Schottky spectrum. Technical solutions for overcoming this problem are described. Results from commissioning in one ring of RHIC are reported.
