Workshop on the effect of synchrotron radiation in the VLHC

Brookhaven National Laboratory
September 18 - 20, 2000

The workshop is intended to be an initial investigation into the advantages and drawbacks of synchrotron radiation in a high field VLHC. We would like to identify and clarify future topics for further investigation.

Synchrotron radiation damping at very high proton beam energies can result in hitherto unobtainable beam densities which may prove beneficial in achieving machine performance goals. Radiated power will inevitably complicate the beam tube environment. Is there an appropriate balance at these energies ??

Workshop Organization

The workshop is one in a series looking at topics of potential interest to a next generation hadron machine organized by the VLHC Steering Committee. There will be three working groups:

Group 1 – Round/Flat beams

Dick Talman (group leader) Cornell, Steve Peggs BNL, Jim Murphy BNL, John Johnstone FNAL

Group 2 – Electron Cloud & Vacuum Effects

Miguel Furman (group leader) LBL, Dejan Trbojevic BNL, Mauro Pivi LBL, Oswald Grobner CERN, Kathy Harkay ANL, Peter Limon FNAL

Group 3 – Damping Dynamics

Alex Chao (group leader) SLAC, Jie Wei BNL, Tanaji Sen FNAL, Brett Parker BNL
