Parameters for Quantifying Beam Halo
نویسنده
چکیده
Two different parameters for the quantitative description of beam halo are introduced, both based on moments of the particle distribution. One parameter is a measure of spatial halo formation and has been defined previously by Wangler and Crandall [3], termed the profile parameter. The second parameter relies on kinematic invariants to quantify halo formation in phase space; we call it the halo parameter. The profile parameter can be computed from experimental beam profile data. The halo parameter provides a theoretically more complete description of halo in phase space, but is difficult to obtain experimentally.

The Beam Halo Experiment at LEDA
Due to the potentially adverse effects of the generation of halo particles in intense proton beams, it is imperative to have a clear understanding of the mechanisms that can lead to halo formation for current and proposed high-intensity linacs. To this end a theoretical model has been developed, which indicates that protons under the combined influence of strong space charge forces and periodic...
متن کاملOverview of Recent Halo Diagnosis and Non-destructive Beam Profile Monitoring
Beam profile (emittance) and beam halo are characteristic properties of high-intensity and high energy beams that might limit the performance of the accelerator. Therefore a reliable measurement and determination of these parameters is most helpful for the understanding, tuning and improvement of the whole accelerator chain to achieve the best (at least the design-) performance. This talk will ...
متن کاملHalo Formation in Spheroidal Bunches with Self-consistent Stationary Distributions
A new class of self-consistent 6-D phase space stationary distributions is constructed both analytically and numerically. The beam is then mismatched longitudinally and/or transversely, and we explore the beam stability and halo formation for the case of 3-D axisymmetric beam bunches using particle-in-cell simulations. We concentrate on beams with bunch length-to-width ratios varying from 1 to ...
متن کاملElectron Beam Halo Formation in High-power Periodic Permanent Magnet Focusing Klystron Amplifiers
Electron beam halo formation is studied as a potential mechanism for electron beam losses in highpower periodic permanent magnet focusing klystron amplifiers. In particular, a two-dimensional selfconsistent electrostatic model is used to analyze equilibrium beam transport in a periodic magnetic focusing field in the absence of radio-frequency signal, and the behavior of a high-intensity electro...
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...
