Stochastic cooling of electrons and positrons using their extreme ultraviolet radiation is considered. A few beneficial modifications of a stochastic cooling technique are described—a petaherz-scale bandwidth, ability to apply many uncorrelated corrections to particle offsets in one cooling system, cascade amplified stochastic cooling—all resulting in a simpler and more flexible cooling system producing fast cooling without the amplifier. This approach to cooling electron and positron beams easily outperforms radiation cooling in preparing low-emittance and low-energy-spread beams in moderate-energy storage rings.
