Animations 
  
Lecture 11 
Matched
bunch 
This animated gif shows the
evolution in longitudinal phase space of a matched bunch in a bucket. The
frames show a snapshot of longitudinal phase space, every 10 turns, for a total
of 100 turns.  
  
Mismatched
bunch: phase error 
This animation shows the evolution
in longitudinal phase space of a bunch with a phase error of about 60 degrees.
The evolution is shown at every 5 turns, for a total of 100 turns.  
  
Mismatched
bunch: beta error 
This animation shows the evolution
in longitudinal phase space of a bunch with a mismatched longitudinal beta
function (a factor of three mismatch). The evolution is shown at every 5 turns,
for a total of 100 turns.  
  
Bunch
rotation 
This animation shows the rotation
in longitudinal phase space of a mismatched bunch. The evolution is shown at
every turn, for a total of 11 turns.  
  Lecture 12 
  
Energy damping 
This animation shows the damping
of both the centroid and the width of an electron beam which is injected
off-energy into a machine, with an energy spread larger than the equilibrium
energy spread.  
  Lecture 13 
  
Transition
crossing 
This animation shows the process
of transition crossing in a proton synchrotron. Longitudinal phase space is
shown on successive turns from turn 10 to turn 30; transition crossing occurs
at turn 20. Note the growth of the energy spread, and reduction in the bunch
length,
Windows 7 64bits, as the beam passes through transition 
  
Injection
damping 
This animation shows the real
space (x,y) profile of an injected electron beam. The oscillations you see are
the betatron oscillations, which, in this example, have a frequency different
by 20% in the two planes. The oscillations damp to zero with a time constant of
10 time units. The horizontal and vertical beam sizes also damp, with the final
vertical size much smaller than the final horizontal size, resulting in a flat
beam.  
  Lecture 17 
Pretzel 
This animation illustrates
particle-antiparticle collisions using pretzel orbits for collision avoidance
at all but two points in the ring,
Office 2007 Serial, for arrays of nine bunches. The two colors
represent the preztel orbits of the two species of particle; the dots represent
the bunches.
