Abstract
The novel experimental system “S-POD” (Simulator of Particle Orbit Dynamics) is employed to explore the stability of short hadron bunches in high-intensity linacs. In a previous study with the S-POD [M. Goto et al., ], a static potential was used to focus the bunch in the longitudinal direction. We here make a step forward to include the possibility of pure synchrotron resonance, introducing periodic modulation to the longitudinal potential well. The modulation period was taken a half of the transverse alternating-gradient focusing period, which reflects the most typical lattice condition of a drift-tube linac. Detailed stability maps are constructed to reveal dangerous parameter regions where serious beam loss may occur due to resonance. We reconfirm the existence of various betatron and synchrobetatron resonance stop bands whose widths and locations change in tune space depending on the bunch intensity. It turns out that the periodicity of the longitudinal focusing potential brings about no pronounced effect on the resonance feature; the result is very similar to what we obtained in the previous study with a static longitudinal potential. As long as the lattice periodicity mentioned above is maintained, no serious noncoupling synchrotron resonance appears even with a high synchrotron phase advance above 90° per unit alternating-gradient cell. Severe envelope instability may, however, be excited in the longitudinal direction if the axial focusing force includes error components that affect the original lattice periodicity. The experimental observations can be explained with the free from the concept of incoherent tune spread.

期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
