Circular Modes for Mitigating Space-Charge effects and enabling Flat Beams
Year: 2024
Type: preprint
Abstract: Flat beams are preferred in high-intensity accelerators and high-energy colliders due to one of the transverse plane emittances being much smaller than the other, which enhances luminosity and beam brightness. However, flat beams are not desirable at low energies due to space charge forces which are significantly enhanced in one plane. The same is true, although to a lesser degree, for non-symmetric elliptical beams. To mitigate this effect and enable flat beams at higher energies, circular mode beam optics can be used. In this paper, we show that circular mode beams offer better control of space charge effects at lower energies and can be transformed into flat beams at higher energies.
