Abstract
In this chapter, I will apply the transfer matrix method developed in Chap. 4 to novel cooling geometries outside cavities (Sects. 5.1 and 5.2), as well as inside active ring cavities (Sect.5.3).
[...] [T]he sciences do not try to explain, they hardly even try to interpret, they mainly make models. By a model is meant a mathematical construct which, with the addition of certain verbal interpretations, describes observed phenomena. The justification of such a mathematical construct is solely and precisely that it is expected to work [...].
