Beam-bunching with a linear-ramp including space-charge force effects cylinder model

摘要

The voltage-amplitude requirement of a saw tooth waveform buncher is calculated to give a desired degree of bunching for a given beam current and particle species. This calculation includes the effect of space-charge forces with and without adjacent beam buckets. The results are compared to TRACE-3D calculations which do not include the space-charge effects of adjacent bunches. It appears that TRACE-3D calculations underestimate the bunching voltage required. The methodology and a listing of the spread sheet that performs the analytical bunching calculation are included.
