Three-dimensional stochastic cooling in the relativistic heavy ion collider.
Three-dimensional stochastic cooling of 100  GeV/nucleon gold beams has been achieved in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). We discuss the physics and technology of the cooling systems and present results with a beam. A factor of 2 increase in luminosity was achieved and another factor of 2 is expected.
