Particle beam cooling explained

Particle beam cooling is the process of improving the quality of particle beams produced by particle accelerators, by reducing the emittance. Techniques for particle beam cooling include:^[1]

• Stochastic cooling^[2]
• Electron cooling^{[3] [4]}
• Ionization cooling
• Laser cooling^[5]
• Radiation damping
• Buffer-gas cooling within RF quadrupoles
