Vlasov description of the beam response to noise in the presence of wakefields in high-energy synchrotrons: beam transfer function, diffusion, and loss of Landau damping

Xavier Buffat, Sondre Vik Furuseth

Noise can have severe impacts on particle beams in high-energy synchrotrons. In particular, it has recently been discovered that noise combined with wakefields can cause a diffusion that leads to a loss of Landau damping after a latency. Such instabilities ...

Design of the future circular hadron collider beam vacuum chamber

Lotta Maria Mether

EuroCirCol is a conceptual design study of a post-LHC, Future Circular Hadron Collider (FCC-hh) which aims to expand the current energy and luminosity frontiers. The vacuum chamber of this 100 TeV, 100 km collider, will have to cope with unprecedented leve ...

A novel approach to Landau damping of transverse collective instabilities in future hadron colliders

Michael Schenk

Transverse collective instabilities induced by the beam-coupling impedance of the accelerator structure lead to beam quality degradation and pose a major limitation to the machine performance. Landau damping, a powerful stabilising mechanism that can be em ...
