Nonsingular Integral Equation for Stability of a Bunched Beam

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/826786· OSTI ID:826786

The linearized Vlasov equation for longitudinal motion of a bunched beam leads to a singular integral equation, the singularity being associated with the tune spectrum of the single-particle motion. A discretization for numerical solution of the equation in this form is not well justified. A simple change of the unknown function gives an equation that can more readily be approximated by a matrix equation. In contrast to the usual approach (Oide-Yokoya) the equation for eigen-frequencies does not have a continuum of solutions corresponding to single-particle frequencies, but only a few solutions corresponding to coherent modes.
