Particle beam cooling
{{Short description|Techniques to control particle beam properties}}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:[http://www.iaea.org/inis/collection/NCLCollectionStore/_Public/25/073/25073723.pdf#page=19 Proceedings of Cern Accelerator School Workshop on Beam Cooling and related topics, Montreux October 1993]
