The ionisation cooling technique has been demonstrated in principle by the Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment (MICE) but the potential detrimental impacts of collective effects still need to be carefully investigated. Using the same formalism as the one...

Resonant slow extraction is widely utilized in hadron synchrotron accelerators. This paper proposes a longitudinal localized excitation method for slow extraction, in which transverse excitation is applied only within a limited phase interval located at the edge of the longitudinal phase space. As a result, only particles situated in this region are excited and subsequently extracted. This...

In absence of direct space charge, the indirect electromagnetic self-interaction of particle beams via surrounding materials is typically described by wakefields.

Online monitoring of beam phase and energy gain within accelerating cavities is crucial for the stable operation of accelerators, especially in high-power scenarios. As cavities are typically calibrated with a low-current, short-pulse beam for safety purposes, the beam behavior may deviate from the calibrated case when running high-current beams, due to strong space charge effects and other...
