Abstract	The EU supported EURISOL Design Study encompasses a beta-beam facility for neutrino physics. Intense electron (anti-)neutrino beams are in such a machine generated through the decay of radioactive ions in a high energy storage ring. The two main candidate isotopes for the generation of a neutrino and an antineutrino beam are 6He and 18Ne. The intensities required are hard to reach, in particular for the neon case. A possible solution to increase the intensity is to use an accumulator ring with an electron cooler. Critical parameters such as cooling times and current limitations due to space charge and tune shifts are presently being optimized. We will in this presentation give an overview of the low energy accumulation stage and review recent work on this option.
