Stochastic Cooling of Particle Beams

This book describes the main analytical approaches to stochastic cooling. Includes a discussion of the use of a distribution function and the Fokker-Plank equation.

First topical monograph on this subject matter Provides conceptual and theoretical introduction Introduces modern cooling schemes
