Phys. Rev. ST Accel. Beams 7, 044401 (2004) [5 pages]Macroparticle model for longitudinal emittance growth caused by negative mass instability in a proton synchrotron
J. A. MacLachlan Received 25 August 2003; published 8 April 2004 Both theoretical models and beam observations of negative mass instability fall short of a full description of the dynamics and the dynamical effects. Clarification by numerical modeling is now practicable because of the recent proliferation of so-called computing farms. The results of modeling reported in this paper disagree with some predictions based on a long-standing linear perturbation calculation. Validity checks on the macroparticle model are described. ©2004 The American Physical Society
