Muon Cooling
The primary use of ionization cooling is envisaged to be for cooling of muon beams. This is because ionization cooling is the only technique that works on the timescale of the muon lifetime. Ionization cooling channels have been designed for use in a Neutrino Factory and a Muon Collider. Muon ionization cooling is expected to be demonstrated for the first time by the Proof of Principle International Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment. Other PoP muon ionization cooling experiments have been devised.

Famous quotes containing the word cooling:
“A little cooling down of animal excitability and instinct, a little loss of animal toughness, a little irritable weakness and descent of the pain-threshold, will bring the worm at the core of all our usual springs of delight into full view, and turn us into melancholy metaphysicians.”
—William James (1842–1910)
