Abstract
Frictional cooling — that is cooling a beam of very low-energetic charged particles by moderation in matter and simultaneous acceleration in an electrostatic field — has been shown to be feasible during our experiments in 1994/1995 at PSI. In agreement with our previous closed-form and Monte Carlo calculations we found a significant increase in spectral density and a decrease in the angular spread in the case of a beam of negative muons.
