3 Purpose Systematic experimental studies of various space-charge effects in high-intensity and high-brightness hadron beams Use of non-neutral plasmas physically equivalent to charged-particle beams in periodic AG channels At Hiroshima University, compact non-neutral plasma trap systems have been developed solely for beam physics purposes. The tabletop experimental tool for space-charge studies are called S-POD ( Simulator for Particle Orbit Dynamics ). Three Paul ion traps and a Penning electron trap are now employed to explore the collective behaviors of intense hadron beams systematically. 3

4 Principle of S-POD Experiments Charged-particle beams in an AG focusing channel Charged-particle Non-neutral plasmas beams in an in AG a trap focusing system channel beam = 1 2 (p 2 x + p 2 y ) K q H Q(x 2 y ) + mγ 3 (βc) plasma = 1 2 (p 2 q x + p 2 y ) K RF (x 2 y 2 ) + q mγ mc φ 3 (βc) φ H = 1 2 plasma 2 (p x 2 H beam = 1 2 (p 2 x + p 2 y ) K Q (x2 y 2 ) + Non-neutral plasmas in a trap system 2 + p 2 y ) K RF (x2 y 2 ) + q mc φ 2 Both interacting many-body systems obey the following equations: Poisson equation Δφ = q ε 0 f (r,p;t)d 3 p Vlasov equation f t + [ f, H ] = 0 Two systems are physically equivalent if governed by similar Hamiltonians. Use this simple fact to study various collective effects in space-charge-dominated beams! 4

5 Why Traps? Very compact Low cost Table-top size (Our Paul traps are shorter than ~20 cm in axial length.) We have several traps of different designs, each of which costs a few k$. Extremely wide parameter range Easy control of tunes and tune depression (and even lattice structures) High resolution & precision measurements MCPs, Faraday cups, and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) diagnostics No radio-activation No machine damage from any large particle losses 5
