Abstract
Results of laser cooling experiments on 100 keV Li/sup +/ beams in the storage ring ASTRID are reported. The metastable fraction of the lithium beam has been laser cooled to a momentum spread dp/p approximately 10/sup -6/, corresponding to a rest frame temperature T/sub ///=1 mK. Laser diagnostic methods have been employed to study the dynamics of intrabeam relaxation. A theoretical model of laser cooling has been used to interpret the experimental results. Molecular dynamics simulations of intrabeam interactions and the connection with crystalline beams are also discussed.<>
