Abstract
We present a new technique for cooling heavy-ion beams. The discrete absorption spectrum of the ions and the transverse Doppler shift distinguish the transverse direction of velocity and cool the ions by photon absorption. We evaluate the total energy and time requirements for a particular example relevant to heavy-ion fusion.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
