Title: Beam cooling: Principles and achievements

Journal Article · · Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A
OSTI ID:861300

After a discussion of Liouville's theorem, and its implications for beam cooling, a brief description is given of each of the various methods of beam cooling: stochastic, electron, radiation, laser, ionization, etc. For each, we present the type of particle for which it is appropriate, its range of applicability, and the currently achieved degree of cooling. For each method we also discuss the present applications and, also, possible future developments and further applications.
