Radiation damping of betatron oscillations

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5220944· OSTI ID:5220944
The emission of synchrotron radiation damps the incoherent betatron oscillations of a pinched beam, causing its radius to shrink. However, the rate of shrinkage is small compared with the rate of expansion caused by scattering for typical propagation parameters.
