Abstract
In this paper it is shown that optical stochastic cooling in a 150 MeV electron storage ring will allow production of a beam with a longitud inal emittance of 3 x 10(-6) MeV/m. Such a small emittance accompanied with a bunch compression technique based upon the transformation in t he longitudinal phase space will allow achieving a bunch length of 30 mu m. This bunch could then be used for the generation of ultra-short X-ray pulses by Compton scattering of laser photons.
