In the framework of the "LHC Injectors Upgrade" (LIU) project, the CERN Proton Synchrotron (PS) is being prepared as a pre-injector for the Large Hadron Collider at high luminosity (HL-LHC). RF systems at 20 MHz, 40 MHz and 80 MHz are…
Electron trapping in a finite amplitude Langmuir wave (LW) leads to a frequency shift, \Delta\omega_{TP} < 0, and reduced Landau damping. These may lead to modulational instability. Its growth rate and damping threshold, due to escape of…

Relativistic charged-particle beams which generate intense longitudinal fields in accelerating structures also inherently couple to transverse modes. The effects of this coupling may lead to beam break-up instability, and thus must be…
