Abstract
The application of the general theory of Schottky noise to a beam subjected to laser cooling in a storage ring is considered. It is shown that the noise properties differ strongly from the case of an electron-cooled beam. The important role of the tails of the velocity distribution is discussed. Good agreement between the theoretical predictions and experimental results obtained at the ASTRID storage ring has been found. The possibility of extracting dynamical information from the Schottky spectra is also discussed.Keywords
