The sudden drop of the beam life time and bursts of background radiation were detected in many machines and associated with microscopic dust particles. We present the model of the dust particle dynamics explaining the long time of the dust events observed in the PEP-II B-factory and BEPC-II machines.

We present PARSEC, a 3D parallel self-consistent particle tracking program which allows electron-cloud calculations in arbitrary external fields. The program is based on an general particle tracking framework called GenTrackE [5]. The Lorentz force equation is integrated with time as the independent variable. A 3D parallel Multigrid solver computes the electric field for the drive beam in the b...

Using a single particle dynamics approach, the major magnetic non-linearities of the SNS accumulator ring are studied. Frequency maps are employed in order to display the global dynamics of the beam, for several working points. By means of diffusion maps the major resonances are explored and their bandwidth is estimated. The global tune diffusion coefficient is finally used to compare and choos...

Three-dimensional (3D) Poisson solver plays an important role in the study of space-charge effects on charged particle beam dynamics in particle accelerators. In this paper, we propose three new 3D Poisson solvers for a charged particle beam in an open rectangular conducting pipe. These three solvers include a spectral integrated Green function (IGF) solver, a 3D spectral solver, and a 3D integ...

Three dimensional single particle trapping and manipulation is an outstanding challenge in various fields ranging from basic physics to life sciences. By monitoring the response of a trapped particle to a designed environment one can extract its characteristics. In addition, quantum dynamics of a spatially scanned well-known particle can provide environmental information. Precise tracking and p...

Harmonic cavities have been used in storage rings to increase beam lifetime and Landau damping by lengthening the bunch. The need for lifetime increase is particularly great in the present generation of low to medium energy synchrotron light sources where the small transverse beam sizes lead to realitively short lifetimes from large-angle intrabeam ( Touschek) scattering. We review the beam dyn...

The transverse dynamics of a relativistic electron beam in a plasma less dense than the beam is analyzed, with particular attention to the electron-hose instability as it appears in a plasma channel of finite radius. A comparison is made between analytic asymptotic forms, linearized ‘‘beam break-up’’ simulations, and particle-in-cell simulations. The analysis provides a framework for the interp...
