Phys. Rev. ST Accel. Beams 3, 124401 (2000) [8 pages]Limitation of the Gaussian approximation in beam-beam simulations
Kaoru Yokoya Received 25 September 2000; published 5 December 2000 The soft-Gaussian approximation is often employed in computer simulations of strong-strong beam-beam interactions in storage rings. Its defect on the coherent oscillation frequency is pointed out and a possible remedy using Hermitian polynominals is discussed. ©2000 The American Physical Society
