At S-LSR in ICR, Kyoto University, Mg ion beam has been successfully laser cooled both in longitudinal* and transverse** directions. The cooling rate, however, is not strong enough to realize the crystalline beam due to the heating because of intra-beam scattering (IBS) effect. So as to suppress this IBS, reduction of the beam intensity is inevitable, which however, had resulted in poor S/N ratio for observation of the transverse beam size. In the present paper, we would like to describe a new beam scraping scheme, which selects out the beams in the distribution tail of the transverse phase space keeping the beam density in the core part by simultaneous application of multi-dimensional laser cooling and beam scraping. The strategy to reduce the beam intensity and hence beam heating due to IBS by a controlled scraping of the outskirt beam keeping the beam density at core part almost the same, has been searched by combination of the beam experiments and computer simulations.
