Phys. Rev. ST Accel. Beams 4, 024403 (2001) [8 pages]Simulation of the head-tail instability of colliding bunches
E. A. Perevedentsev and A. A. Valishev Received 22 October 2000; published 15 February 2001 A numerical simulation of a possible coherent beam-beam instability of the head-tail type is presented. The studied model employs a linearized coherent beam-beam interaction and takes complete account of the bunch length, including the deformation of the colliding bunches during their overlap. Measured head-tail mode spectra from the VEPP-2M collider are compared with the results of the analytical model and tracking. A computer code for evaluation of the coherent mode increments, which was used for analysis of possible ways to stabilize the beam-beam system, is described. ©2001 The American Physical Society
