Title: Electron-proton instability in the IPNS-Upgrade RCS: Part I

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/83781· OSTI ID:83781

The electron-proton instability in the IPNS-Upgrade RCS is investigated in this report. A dispersion relation applicable to the coasting beam is derived, and the approximations used are stated in order to facilitate the understanding of the underlying mechanism of the instability. The threshold of instability in terms of neutralization of the circulating beam is found for the IPNS-Upgrade RCS. The dependence of threshold on the beam size and the lattice tune is also studied and its numerical results are presented.
