Circular Modes for Flat Beams in LHC
Typically x/y optical coupling is considered as unwanted and thus
suppressed--particular exclusions are electron and ionization coolers. Could
some special coupled modes be effectively applied for the LHC complex?
Apparently, the answer is positive: use of the circular modes in the injectors
with their transformation into planar modes in the LHC allows both the space
charge and beam-beam luminosity limitations to be significantly reduced, if not
practically eliminated.Comment: 3 p
Head-Tail Modes for Strong Space Charge
The head-tail modes are described for the space charge tune shift
significantly exceeding the synchrotron tune. A general equation for the modes
is derived. The spatial shapes of the modes, their frequencies, and coherent
growth rates are explored. The Landau damping rates are also found. The
suppression of the transverse mode coupling instability by the space charge is
explained.Comment: 11 pages, 7 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev. ST-Accel. Beam
Bucket shaking stops bunch dancing in Tevatron
Bunches in Tevatron are known to be longitudinally unstable: their collective
oscillations, also called "dancing bunches," persist without any signs of
decay. Typically, a damper is used to stop these oscillations, but recently, it
was theoretically predicted that the oscillations can be stabilized by means of
small bucket shaking. Dedicated measurements in Tevatron have shown that this
method does stop the dancing.Comment: 3 pp. Particle Accelerator, 24th Conference (PAC'11) 2011. 28 Mar - 1
