Title: Lossless crossing of a resonance stopband during tune modulation by synchrotron oscillations

Journal Article · · New Journal of Physics

Modern high performance circular accelerators require sophisticated corrections of nonlinear lattices. The beam betatron tune footprint may cross many resonances, reducing dynamic aperture and causing particle loss. But, if particles cross a resonance reasonably fast, the beam deterioration may be minimized. This paper describes the experiments with the beam passing through a half-integer resonance stopband via tune modulation by exciting synchrotron oscillations. This is the first time that beam dynamics have been kept under precise control while the beam crosses a half-integer resonance. These results convincingly demonstrate that particles can cross the half-integer resonance without being lost if the passage is reasonably fast and the resonance stopband is sufficiently narrow.
