Abstract
The feasibility of the macroparticle simulation of stochastic (momentu m) cooling is discussed. A computationally effective algorithm for sim ulating the particle dynamics is proposed. The scaling laws for the nu mber of particles and cooling system bandwidth are numerically checked . Results of simulation of the momentum stacking in a simplified model are presented, indicating that reproducing 3 orders of magnitude in t he density variation is easily achievable.
