Coherent synchrotron radiation can severely limit the performance of accelerators designed for high brightness and short bunch length. Examples include light sources based on energy recovery LINAC or free-electron lasers, compressors linear colliders. In order to better simulate coherent radiation, a one-dimensional formalism due Saldin, Schneidmiller, Yurkov has been implemented in general beam dynamics code Bmad. Wide vacuum chambers are simulated by means vertical image charges. Results...
Intrabeam scattering (IBS) limits the emittance and single-bunch current that can be achieved in electron or positron storage ring colliders, damping rings, light sources. Much theoretical work on IBS exists, while theories have been validated hadron ion machines, presence of strong makes lepton machines a different phenomenon. We present results measurements at CesrTA IBS-dominated beams, compare data with theory. The beams we study parameters typical those specified for next generation...
In 2008 the Cornell Electron/Positron Storage Ring (CESR) was reconfigured from an electron/positron collider to serve as a testbed for International Linear Collider (ILC) damping rings.

Landau damping—the damping of coherent oscillations in a system oscillators with feedback—has been observed many diverse systems from plasmas to quarks the flashing fireflies. There are two general approaches that have used understand damping: One approach analyzes terms dephasing oscillators. Another explains as result an energy drain those resonant oscillation. Both studied this paper and it is shown while may seem different, they both valid descriptions damping.
