Abstract
The application of the general theory of Schottky noise to a beam subj ected to laser cooling in a storage ring is considered. It is shown th at the noise properties differ strongly from the case of an electron-c ooled beam. The important role of the tails of the velocity distributi on is discussed. Good agreement between the theoretical predictions an d experimental results obtained at the ASTRID storage ring has been fo und. The possibility of extracting dynamical information from the Scho ttky spectra is also discussed.
