Threshold of transverse mode coupling instability with arbitrary space charge
Threshold of the transverse mode coupling instability is calculated in
frameworks of the square well model at arbitrary value of space charge tune
shift. A new method of calculation is developed beyond the traditional
expansion technique. The square, resistive, and exponential wakes are
investigated. It is shown that the instability threshold goes up without limit
when the tune shift increases. A resemblance of the results to conventional
case of the parabolic potential well is demonstrated and explained
Transverse Mode Coupling Instability with Space Charge
Transverse mode coupling instability of a bunch with space charge and wake
field is considered in frameworks of the boxcar model. Eigenfunctions of the
bunch without wake are used as the basis for solution of the equations with the
wake field included. Dispersion equation for the bunch eigentunes is obtained
in the form of an infinite continued fraction. It is shown that influence of
space charge on the instability essentially depends on the wake sign. In
particular, threshold of the negative wake increases in absolute value until
the space charge tune shift is rather small, and goes to zero at higher space
charge. The explanation of this behavior is developed by analysis of the bunch
spectrum. A comparison of the results with published articles is represented.Comment: 9 pages, 12 figure
Transverse coherent instability of a bunch in a rectangular potential well
Theory of transverse instability of a bunch in a rectangular potential well is developed. Series of equations adequately describing the instability is derived and solved both analytically and numerically. Dependence of the instability increment and threshold on bunch factor is investigated for various beam coupling impedances. The theory is applied to the Fermilab Recycler Ring
The RFOFO Ionization Cooling Ring for Muons
Practical ionization cooling rings could lead to lower cost or improved
performance in neutrino factory or muon collider designs. The ring modeled here
uses realistic three-dimensional fields. The performance of the ring compares
favorably with the linear cooling channel used in the second US Neutrino
Factory Study. The normalized 6D emittance of an ideal ring is decreased by a
factor of approximately 240, compared with a factor of only 15 for the linear
channel. We also examine such \textit{real-world} effects as windows on the
absorbers and rf cavities and leaving empty lattice cells for injection and
extraction. For realistic conditions the ring decreases the normalized 6D
emittance by a factor of 49.Comment: 27 pages, 18 figures and 5 tables. Submitted to Phys. Rev. ST-A

Low-Budget Muon Source
Generation of muon beams with protons on a current-carrying target followed by a lithium lens and a quadrupole decay channel is considered. A 8 GeV proton beam from the Fermilab Booster is used to provide a muon beam for the MUCOOL experiment for ionization cooling demonstration. The proposed scheme can also be used to create muon beams with a fraction of a 1 GeV proton beam of the Spallation Neutron Source. Monte Carlo simulations of the entire system are performed. For both cases optimization of the target and matching lithium lens is done. It is shown that such a set followed by an inexpensive decay channel based on quadrupole magnets with and without RF cavities provides a rather intense bunched muon beam
