3D Theory of Microscopic Instabilities Driven by Space-Charge Forces

Accelerator Physics 2023-06-14 v1

Abstract

Microscopic, or short-wavelength, instabilities are known for drastic reduction of the beam quality and strong amplification of the noise in a beam. Space charge and coherent synchrotron radiation are known to be the leading causes for such instabilities. In this paper we present rigorous 3D theory of such instabilities driven by the space-charge forces. We define the condition when our theory is applicable for an arbitrary accelerator system with 3D coupling. Finally, we derive a linear integral equation describing such instability and identify conditions when it can be reduced to an ordinary second order differential equation.
