Abstract
The dependence of the laser cooling force on velocity is strongly non- linear and consists of two narrow peaks associated with co- and counte r-propagating laser beams. Under these conditions a single intrabeam s cattering event can knock a particle out of the cooling range. This cr eates large non-Gaussian tails in the distribution function for longit udinal velocity. A theoretical model describing single and multiple in trabeam scattering is considered. A detailed analysis of the scatterin g and its comparison with experimental data for the ASTRID storage rin g are performed.
