Chaotic dynamics and halo formation in charged-particle beams

چکیده
An old problem, but a new area of fundamental research, is characterizing orbital dynamics and its consequences in time-dependent potentials. Regarding nonequilibrium space-charge potentials, one clear consequence is halo formation. We show that orbital chaos normally plays a central role in halo formation. In turn, the ability to quantify chaos is centrally important. We show examples of the generation and consequences of chaos in nonequilibrium beams, and we apply a newly developed tool for pinpointing orbital chaos in time-dependent potentials. r 2006 Elsevier B.V.

Chaotic Behavior and Halo Development in the Transverse Dynamics of Heavy Ion Beams
This paper reviews results obtained from recent analytical and numerical investigations of chaotic behavior and halo development induced by charge density inhomogeneities in the transverse dynamics of heavy ion beams. In particular, a test-particle model is used to investigate the charged-particle dynamics in an intense, matched, heavy ion beam with nonuniform density profile propagating throug...

متن کاملSelf-consistent simulation studies of periodically focused intense charged-particle beams.
A self-consistent two-dimensional model is used to investigate intense charged-particle beam propagation through a periodic solenoidal focusing channel, particularly in the regime in which there is a mismatch between the beam and the focusing channel. The present self-consistent studies confirm that mismatched beams exhibit nonlinear resonances and chaotic behavior in the envelope evolution, as...
متن کامل1 9 Fe b 20 03 A stochastic - hydrodynamic model of halo formation in charged particle beams
The formation of the beam halo in charged particle accelerators is studied in the framework of a stochastic-hydrodynamic model for the collective motion of the particle beam. In such a stochastichydrodynamic theory the density and the phase of the charged beam obey a set of coupled nonlinear hydrodynamic equations with explicit time-reversal invariance. This leads to a linearized theory that de...
متن کاملThe Effect of Nonlinear Transport on Beam Halo Formation
Halo formation is an important issue in intense charged particle beams because the loss of halo particles can lead to radioactivation of the accelerator. In this paper, we investigate the influence of the addition of nonlinear terms to the linear focusing as a possible mechanism to control halo formation. With nonlinear focusing, the core oscillations can no longer be described by an envelope e...
