Asymptotic Growth of Cumulative and Regenerative Beam Break-Up Instabilities in Accelerators

Abstract

It is found that the asymptotic growth of the cumulative beam break up instability is independent of the focusing magnetic field, according to the model of Panofsky and Bander. The analysis is extended to include the transition from the cumulative to the regenerative type, both in the presence and absence of a focusing magnetic field. Keywords: Beam break up, Electron beam instability, Linear accelerators, Beam circuit interaction.
