A brief overview is given of the recent work done by the beam-physics group of Hiroshima University on resonant beam instabilities in high-intensity hadron rings. Emphasis is placed upon two essentially different instability mechanisms, namely, coherent and incoherent resonances that occur respectively in the beam core and in the beam tail. On the basis of a semi-empirical coherent resonance condition, a simple rule is introduced to construct a new type of stability map. The proposed diagram enables one to find the optimum operating region of any circular machine in the betatron tune space very easily and quickly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
