Title: Image current heating on metal surface due to charged bunches

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/753306· OSTI ID:753306

When charged particles pass through a metal pipe, they are accompanied by an image current on the metal surface. With intense short bunches passing near the metal surface, the peak image current density can be very high. This current may result in substantial temperature rise on the surface, especially in multi-bunch operation. In this paper, the authors derive an explicit formula for the surface temperature rise due to this previously unrecognized effect, and show that it should be taken into account in structure and collimator design for future accelerators.
