Transverse betatron motion of the Tevatron proton beam is measured and analyzed. It is shown that the motion is coherent and excited by external sources of unknown origins. Observations of the time-varying "ghost lines" in the betatron…
In this article we present results of emittance growth measurements in the Tevatron beams. Several mechanisms leading to transverse and longitudinal diffusions are analyzed and their contributions estimated.
Long-range beam-beam effects occurred in the Tevatron at all stages (injection, ramp, squeeze, and collisions) and affected both proton and antiproton beams. They resulted in beam losses and emittance blow-ups, which occurred in remarkable…
Proton acceleration in nearby blazars can be diagnosed measuring their intense TeV $\gamma$-ray emission. Flux predictions for 1101+384 (Mrk421) and 1219+285 (ON231), both strong EGRET sources (0.1-10 GeV), are obtained from model spectra…
