Description
Beam–beam interactions are well known to limit the performance of high-energy hadron colliders, as they can degrade beam quality and reduce particle lifetime. When the strengths of the beam–beam and space-charge forces become comparable, as in high-intensity, mid-energy colliders, their interplay results in complex nonlinear dynamics and the excitation of resonances.
In this project, we perform GPU-enabled simulations, motivated by the forthcoming Electron–Ion Collider (EIC), to study the combined effects of beam–beam and space-charge interactions within a realistic accelerator lattice. In support of this endeavor, we have developed a preliminary 2.5D space-charge symplectic model incorporating self-consistent space-charge forces and the complete magnetic lattice. This model enables the study of long-term nonlinear dynamics, which is essential for achieving high average luminosity.
