Collisional Emittance Growth in the Particle Simulation of Focused Beam Transport.

Abstract

By varying the number of particles used in the simulation, it is shown that numerical collisions result in a non-physical emittance growth which is proportional to the collision frequency. It is also shown that enough particles can be used so that the systems behavior is independent of their number. (Author)
