Mirror-mediated cooling: a paradigm for particle cooling via the
retarded dipole force
   [PDF]

Tim Freegarde, James Bateman, André Xuereb, Peter Horak
Cooling forces result from the retarded dipole interaction between an illuminated particle and its reflection. For a one-dimensional example, we find cooling times of milliseconds and limiting temperatures in the millikelvin range. The force, which may be considered the prototype for cavity-mediated cooling, may be enhanced by plasmon and geometric resonances at the mirror.
