Title: Transverse mode-coupling instability and space charge

Abstract

Transverse mode-coupling instability (TMCI) is known to limit bunch intensity. Since space charge (SC) changes coherent spectra, it affects the TMCI threshold. Generally, there are only two types of TMCI with respect to SC: the vanishing type and the strong space charge (SSC) type. For the former, the threshold value of the wake tune shift is asymptotically proportional to the SC tune shift, as it was first observed twenty years ago by M. Blaskiewicz for exponential wakes. For the latter, the threshold value of the wake tune shift is asymptotically inversely proportional to the SC, as it was shown by one of the authors. In the presented studies of various wakes, potential wells, and bunch distributions, the second type of instability was always observed for cosine wakes; it was also seen for the sine wakes in the case of a bunch within a square potential well. The vanishing TMCI was observed for all other wakes and distributions we discuss in this paper: always for the negative wakes, and always, except the cosine wake, for parabolic potential wells. At the end of this paper, we consider high-frequency broadband wake, suggested as a model impedance for CERN SPS ring. As expected, TMCImore » is of the vanishing type in this case. Furthermore, SPS Q26 instability, observed at strong SC almost with the same bunch parameters as it would be observed without SC, cannot be TMCI.« less
