Injecting a Kapchinskij-vladimirskij Distribution into a Proton Synchrotron*

چکیده
Recently it has been suggested that the KapchinskijVladimirskij (KV) distribution [1] may be of practical interest for high intensity machines in that it may provide the maximum space charge limit for such a machine. One can make a plausible argument that the maximum beam intensity is obtained for a distribution for which all particles have the same tune, at least when the resonance is approached. Therefore, the following steps should be taken: first, reduce the chromaticity of the accelerator ring as much as possible, and second, make the betatron frequencies independent of amplitude, i.e., make the focusing forces linear. One way to make the focusing forces linear is to start with external focusing forces which are linear, and then make the space charge forces also linear by using a KV distribution [1]. Sections II and III describe two injection scenarios which produce a KV distribution (if we neglect beam-beam interactions during the injection process.) Simulations of these injection scenarios verify that the resulting distribution produces a uniform circular beam in xy-space. A simulation code was written which also includes the space charge interactions between the 500 injected turns in the proposed scenarios; the results are given in section IV. The space charge forces have a substantial effect on the resulting distribution.

Class of generalized Kapchinskij-Vladimirskij solutions and associated envelope equations for high-intensity charged-particle beams.
A class of generalized Kapchinskij-Vladimirskij solutions of the Vlasov-Maxwell equations and the associated envelope equations for high-intensity beams in an uncoupled lattice is derived. It includes the classical Kapchinskij-Vladimirskij solution as a special case. For a given lattice, the distribution functions and the envelope equations are specified by ten free parameters. The class of sol...

In an uncoupled lattice, the Kapchinskij-Vladimirskij (KV) distribution function first analyzed in 1959 is the only known exact solution of the nonlinear Vlasov-Maxwell equations for high-intensity beams including self-fields in a self-consistent manner. The KV solution is generalized here to high-intensity beams in a coupled transverse lattice using the recently developed generalized Courant-S...

Collective Modes and Colored Noise as Beam- Halo Amplifiers
As illustrated herein, collective modes and colored noise conspire to produce beam halo with much larger amplitude than could be generated by either phenomenon separately. Collective modes are inherent to nonequilibrium beams with space charge. Colored noise arises from unavoidable machine transitions and/or errors that influence the internal space-charge force. Lowest-order radial eigenmodes c...

The properties of the Kapchinskij-Vladimirskij (K-V) equilibrium and envelope equation are examined for an intense charged-particle beam propagating through an applied periodic solenoidal focusing magnetic field including the effects of the self-electric and selfmagnetic fields associated with the beam space-charge and current. It is found that the beam emittance is proportional to the maximum ...
