Analysis of stochastic cooling systems is usually done under the assumption that the system performance is not limited by the available electronic gain. In practical systems, it may prove to be the case that cost-induced limitations on the maximum available output power restrict the maximum attainable gain, thereby restricting it to be less than its optimal value. Such is the case in the anti-proton sources at both CERN and Fermilab. The criteria that one would employ in, for example, upgrading such a power-limited system prove to be rather different from those for a system for which one can optimize the gain. In the following sections we first develop the formulas relevant to the behavior of power-limited cooling systems; we limit our treatment throughout to the case of systems which cool the transverse phase space of the beam. We then discuss the implications of our results for the upgrade of such cooling systems, contrasting this case with that for systems in which the electronic gain can be optimized. Finally, we apply our results to the specific case of the Fermilab debuncher ring. 3 refs., 1 fig., 2 tabs.
