Title: A new technique for making bright proton bunches using barrier RF systems

Conference ·
OSTI ID:15017083

I describe here a very promising scheme for producing bright proton bunches for proton-antiproton and proton-proton colliders. The method is based on the use of wide-band barrier rf systems. First, I explain the principle of the method. The beam dynamics simulations applied to the Fermilab Main Injector (MI) suggest that the scheme allows a wide range of bunch intensities and emittances for ppbar collider. This method has the potential to increase the instantaneous luminosity by {ge}30% at the Tevatron.
