Transverse space-charge effects in the AGS booster during injection
We have analyzed the transverse motion for 200 MeV protons under strong space-charge conditions. We considered up to 5 /times/ 10/sup 12/ protons per bunch; for the assumed distribution this corresponds to a maximum tune shift of /minus/0.75. We utilized single particle tracking to study the motion in normalized phase space as a function of initial particle amplitude. Subsequent FFT analyses were used to obtain the fractional betatron tunes at different z values along the bunch. The motion shows x /minus/ y coupling due to the so-called Montague resonance (2Q/sub x//minus/2Q/sub y//equals/0). Perturbations arise when particles have tunes in the neighborhood of the 2Q /equals/ 9 half-integral resonances but losses do not occur. It appears that the motion is stabilized simply due to the strong amplitude dependence of the tunes. 2 refs., 5 figs., 4 tabs.
