Download or read book Simulations of Coherent Beam-beam Modes at RHIC. written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A recent experiment at RHIC observed the coherent dipole modes for proton bunches in collision. The collective beam-beam effect in RHIC is simulated self-consistently in 4-D (transverse) phase space. Compared to standard Monte-Carlo methods, the sampling of the distribution tails is improved. The simulations and the experimental results are compared.
