Phys. Rev. ST Accel. Beams 3, 034201 (2000) [8 pages]Comparison of simulated and observed beam profile broadening in the Proton Storage Ring and the role of space charge
Transverse beam profiles are observed to broaden with increasing intensity in the Proton Storage Ring at the Los Alamos Neutron Scattering Center. Measured profiles are simulated with an H- injection model that includes a 2D particle-in-cell space charge calculation. Inclusion of space charge effects in the simulation improves the agreement between the experimentally observed profiles and the calculated profiles. The comparisons are made for a range of injected intensities. This article is available under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License.
