Dynamical stability of slip-stacking particles

We study the stability of particles in slip-stacking configuration, used to nearly double proton beam intensity at Fermilab.We introduce universal area factors to calculate the available phase click here space area for any set of beam parameters without individual simulation.We find perturbative solutions for stable particle trajectories.We establish Booster here beam quality requirements to achieve 97% slip-stacking efficiency.We show that slip-stacking dynamics directly correspond to the driven pendulum and to the system of two standing-wave traps moving with respect to each other.
