Linear Emittance Damper With Megagauss Fields

Description: The emittance of the beams in both high energy, electron-positron colliders and synchrotron light sources is limited by collective beam interactions with the structure of the damping (or storage) rings. A novel linear damper offers the possibility of reducing the emittance by another factor of a few. The underlying physical principle is that high energy, high current, low emittance beams can emit copious hard gammas as synchrotron radiation and cool in the presence of megagauss magnetic fields.… more
