Overview of Beam Conditioning

Abstract

This report contains five short papers summarizing theoretical studies of various techniques for conditioning relativistic electron beams. Conditioning refers to processes that either damp transverse fluctuations of the beam, or provide a head-to-tail variation in its emittance. The studies were performed in support of beam propagation experiments being conducted at several laboratories. Keywords: Relativistic electron beam, Conditioning, Wire cell, Foil cell, Energy ramp cell.
