Electron coolers are commonly used in storage rings to reduce the phase space volume of heavy particles such as protons, antiprotons and ions.

Being based on different models and formulas, the two simulation tools require different parameters in order to realistically describe electron cooling.

Electron coolers are commonly used in storage rings to reduce the phase space volume of heavy particles such as protons, antiprotons and ions.
