Abstract

Beam halo formation issues are important for the design of high current linear ion accelerators. Various mechanisms can potentially cause beam halo. Some recent studies suggested that Coulomb collisions in the beam bunch can contribute significantly to beam bunch growth and halo development in linear accelerators. Despite the general belief that collisions are not important, it is clear that a rigorous treatment of this question is needed. In an effort to explore this issue in detail we have undertaken an analysis of the effects of Coulomb scattering between ions in a self-consistent spherical bunch.
