Abstract :
Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain bunched beam instabilities under increasing intensity. In fact, the cause of these instabilities can be used to generate a very high quality beam. Total coherent synchrotron radiation brings the bunches to plasma density by self-consistent supercooling in the three bunch dimensions i.e. by reduction of energy dispersion. Maximal density and minimal residual instabilities can be controlled by feedback loops. Thus, more efficient machines can be made available, opening new possibilities in many fields
