An amplifier for optical stochastic cooling

By considering the optical amplifiers for optical stochastic cooling of antiprotons in the TEVATRON collider with the damping time of 23 min and cooling of electrons in the DELTA storage ring with the damping time of 0.15 sec, we come to the conclusion that, among the various effects known to us, related to optical amplification no one seems capable of having any noticeable impact on the cooling efficiency in optical stochastic cooling.
