Transverse Mode Coupling Instabilities

Transverse Mode Coupling Instabilities (TMCI) emerged between 1974 and 1980 as the main limitation of dense bunches in electron synchrotrons and storage rings. A two-particle model allows one to calculate the Beam-Break-Up (BBU) instability in linacs. Extending this to synchrotrons show that the BBU...

description Transverse Mode Coupling Instabilities (TMCI) emerged between 1974 and 1980 as the main limitation of dense bunches in electron synchrotrons and storage rings. A two-particle model allows one to calculate the Beam-Break-Up (BBU) instability in linacs. Extending this to synchrotrons show that the BBU instability is suppressed below a threshold intensity by synchrotron oscillations. The classical theory of head-tail modes together with general properties of coupling impedances are used to show how single bunches become unstable when head-tail modes couple together: This is the TMCI threshold. Above threshold, observations both in proton and electron synchrotron can be described by BBU theory.
