“…This can be explained, since ξ = η 2 /χ 2 and for our model χ = η, following (2.6) and (2.7) and the definitions of the anisotropic variables. The anisotropy leading to a coupling resonance [40,41] in the presence of nonlinear space-charge forces was suggested as a possible approach to the equipartitioning problem [17,28,32], since collisions are not responsible for the energy transfer in linacs. 6, the quantities χ and η vary in a discontinuous way, which characterizes an anisotropic beam [26,39].…”
