A novel concept of controlled halo removal for intense high-energy beams in storage rings and colliders is presented. It based on the interaction circulating beam with a 5-keV, magnetically confined, pulsed hollow electron 2-m-long section ring. The electrons enclose beam, kicking particles transversely leaving core unperturbed. By acting as tunable diffusion enhancer not hard aperture limitation, collimator extends conventional collimation systems beyond intensity limits imposed by...

A hollow electron beam has been proposed as an active control tool to remove the halo from high-energy, high-current hadron or ion machines (such High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider). To study removal rate and assess effect on core, one of two lenses in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider was changed a Gaussian profile profile. We describe design verification parameters well methods minimize distortions, which can result emittance increase. The alignment with by using backscattered detector...
Generally, turn-to-turn power fluctuations of incoherent spontaneous synchrotron radiation in a storage ring depend on the 6D phase-space distribution electron bunch. In some cases, if only one parameter is unknown, this can be determined from measured magnitude these fluctuations. Letter, we report an absolute measurement (no free parameters or calibration) small vertical emittance (5–15 nm rms) flat beam by method, under conditions, when it unresolvable conventional light size...
