  The peculiarity of the fast laser cooling of the long lived excited ion beams is discussed. In this case Robinson damping criterion is not valid as frictional forces take place not only at the moment of their interaction with laser beam but in time delay between the interaction time and the gamma release (deexcitation) for the order of some periods of betatron oscillations*. The optimization of the lattice for this case of cooling is discussed. Fast cooling based on both electronic and nuclear transitions is important for the physics of colliding ion beams and light sources based on relativistic ion beams**.
