    Abstract

    The implementation of stochastic cooling in a confined geometry, where the boundary shape is found to be an independent control parameter for arriving at a variety of final spatial and momentum distributions is discussed. The results for integrable and nonintegrable geometries are contrasted in terms of both efficiency of cooling and mechanisms for saturation. It is suggested that implementing stochastic cooling in a confined geometry greatly improves both cooling efficiency and control over the final spatial or momentum distribution of particles.
