Beam cooling has been developed to produce beams of superior beam quality and to support the preparation of high intensity hadron beams. A general introduction into the methods of electron cooling and stochastic cooling will provide the basis to explain the properties of cooled beams. Beam cooling supports the accumulation of high intensity secondary or heavy ion beams. The intensity is limited by reduction of the beam phase space volume which results in stronger intrabeam scattering, instabilities and space charge dominated beams. The cooling technology is presently extended towards higher beam energies aiming at luminosity increase in colliders.
