Space Charge and Beam Beam Effects Eric Prebys, FNAL
Space Charge So far, we have not considered the effect that particles in a bunch might have on each other, or on particles in another bunch. Consider the effect off space charge on the transverse distribution of the beam. E r r ( )= B Ne 2ps2e-r2/2s2 radial charge density If we look at the field at a radius r, we have 2 E.

classical radius=1.5310-18 m for protons ds 1 f This looks like a distributed defocusing quad of strength d nr0 k = - b2g 3s2 so the total tuneshift is Bunching factor Maximum tuneshift for particles near core of beam 5 E.

Example: Fermilab Booster@Injection This is pretty large, but because this is a rapid cycling machine, it is less sensitive to resonances Because this affects individual particles, it s referred to as an incoherent tune shift , which results in a tune spread. There is also a coherent tune shift , caused by images charges in the walls of the beam pipe and/or magnets, which affects the entire bunch more or less equally. This is an important effect, but beyond the scope of this lecture. 6 E. Prebys - Accelerator Fundamentals, Space Charge USPAS, Ft. Collins, CO June 13-24, 2016
Space Charge Considerations In general, space charge tuneshifts limit the total beam that can be injected into a machine. The tuneshift is and we would like to keep the magnitude below about .2 One technique is to paint the beam to fill the aperture and reduce the normalized emittance Example: The J-PARC in Japan injects 400 MeV beam into their Rapid Cycling Synchrotron and paints it to uniformly populate 100 -mm-mrad E.

Increasing Energy Including different distributions: Bunch factor = Ipeak/Iave (Reduce with higher RF harmonics) total protons = . 5 for Gaussian emittance 3 for 95% Gaussian emittance 1 for 100% uniform (painted) emittance normalized emittance So the maximum injected charge grows rapidly with increasing energy bg2 b2g3 without painting Nmax painted to fill physical aperture doesn t include improvement of going to uniform distribution with painting E.

Beam-beam Interaction If two oppositelycharged bunches pass through each other B B E E Both E and B fields are attractive to the particles in the other bunch v v If two bunches with the samesign pass through each other B B E E Both E and B fields are repulsive to the particles in the other bunch v v In either case, the forces add 9 E.

Luminosity and Tuneshift The total tuneshift will ultimately limit the performance of any collider, by driving the beam onto an unstable resonance. Values of on the order ~.02 are typically the limit. However, we have seen the somewhat surprising result that the tuneshift does not depend on *, but only on For a collider, we have We assume we will run the collider at the tuneshift limit , in which case we can increase luminosity by Making * as small as possible Increasing Nb and proportionally. 12 E.
