Overview

This lecture note describes the main analytical approaches to stochastic cooling. The first is the time domain picture, in which the beam is rapidly sampled and a statistical analysis is used to describe the cooling behaviour. The second is the frequency domain picture, which is particularly useful since the observations made on the beam are mainly in this domain. This second picture is developed in detail to assess key components of modern cooling theory like mixing and signal shielding and to illustrate some of the diagnostic methods. Finally the use of a distribution function and the Fokker-Plank equation, which offer the most complete description of the beam during the cooling, are discussed.

From the reviews: For newcomers and researchers ... there is no better place to learn about stochastic cooling than this book. Dieter Mohl was one of the foremost experts in the field ... . Insightful remarks based on his experience, invaluable calculation recipes, realistic numerical examples, as well as an excellent bibliography go together to round up the whole book. In this self-contained book, Mohl provides a superb pedagogical and concise treatment of the subject, from fundamental concepts up to advanced subjects.
