Space-Charge Compensation in High-Intensity Proton Rings
نویسنده
چکیده
Recently, it was proposed to use negatively charged electron beams for compensation of beambeam effects due to protons in the Tevatron collider [1]. We show that a similar compensation is possible in space-charge dominated low energy proton beams. The idea has a potential of severalfold increase of the FNAL Booster beam brightness. Best results will be obtained using three electron lenses around the machine circumference, using co-moving electron beam with time structure and profile approximately matched to the proton beam. This technique, if feasible, will be more cost effective than the straightforward alternative of increasing the energy of the injection linac.

Beam Brightness Booster with Self-Stabilization of Electron-Proton Instability
The brightness and intensity of a circulating proton beam now can be increased up to space charge limit by means of charge exchange injection or by an electron cooling but cannot be increased above this limit. Significantly higher brightness can be produced by means of the charge exchange injection with the space charge compensation [1]. The brightness of the space charge compensated beam is li...

متن کاملExcitation of Resonances Due to the Space Charge and Magnet Errors in the Sns Ring *
The latest designs of high-intensity proton rings require minimal beam loss. The major cause of losses in a circular machine is the interplay of excited resonances, leading to particle diffusion. Such resonances could be driven by the space charge itself, magnet errors or a combined effect of the above. As a result, the goal of achieving low-level beam loss becomes especially challenging in the...
