The Beam-Beam Interaction in the Presence of Strong Radiation Damping

The beam-beam interaction in electron-positron storage rings depends strongly on the radiation damping. It has been shown before that the achievable beam-beam tune shift (the beam-beam limit) is a function of the damping decrement (the damping rate per beam-beam interaction). The LEP collider has be...

Sumario:The beam-beam interaction in electron-positron storage rings depends strongly on the radiation damping. It has been shown before that the achievable beam-beam tune shift (the beam-beam limit) is a function of the damping decrement (the damping rate per beam-beam interaction). The LEP collider has been operated and has delivered luminosity in the range of 45 GeV to 101 GeV. The beam-beam performance data from LEP is revisited and fitted with a simple model. The scaling of the beam-beam limit with the damping decrement is estimated.
