Title: Vlasov analysis of microbunching instability for magnetized beams

Journal Article · · Physical Review Accelerators and Beams

For a high-brightness electron beam with low energy and high bunch charge traversing a recirculation beamline, coherent synchrotron radiation and space charge effect may result in the microbunching instability (MBI). Both tracking simulation and Vlasov analysis for an early design of Circulator Cooler Ring for the Jefferson Lab Electron Ion Collider reveal significant MBI. It is envisioned these could be substantially suppressed by using a magnetized beam. In this work, we extend the existing Vlasov analysis, originally developed for a non-magnetized beam, to the description of transport of a magnetized beam including relevant collective effects. As a result, the new formulation will be further employed to confirm prediction of microbunching suppression for a magnetized beam transport in a recirculating machine design.
