Overlap knock-out resonances in the SSC (Superconducting Super Collider)

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6813248· OSTI ID:6813248
The appearance of overlap-knock-out resonances' was first observed in the ISR. These resonances caused severe enlargement of the vertical beam dimensions and a significant reduction in the luminosity. Somewhat later these resonances were also observed with bunched beams of different energies in each ring, and under resonant conditions reduced the beam lifetime to a few seconds with a beam-beam tune shift of less than 10{sup {minus}5}. For the case of the SSC where the energies of the beams may under certain circumstances be unequal, these resonances may appear and cause beam loss.
