The very first in-ring reaction experiment at the Cooler Storage Ring at the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou (HIRFL-CSR), namely proton elastic scattering on stable 58Ni nuclei, is presented. The circulating 58Ni19+ ions with an energy of 95 MeV/u were interacting repeatedly with an internal hydrogen gas target in the experimental storage ring (CSRe). Low-energy proton recoils from the elastic collisions were measured with an ultra-high vacuum compatible silicon-strip detector. Deduced differential cross sections were normalized by measuring k-shell x rays from 58Ni19+ projectiles due to the 58Ni19+-H2 ionization collisions. Compared to the experimental cross sections, a good agreement has been achieved with the theoretical predictions in the measured region, which were obtained by using the global phenomenological optical model potentials. Our results enable new research opportunities for optical model potential studies on exotic nuclides by using the in-ring reaction setup at the HIRFL-CSR facility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
