Description

The contribution to emittance growth rates due to Coulomb scattering of particles within relativistic beams such as those found in colliders and accumulator rings is calculated. The variation of lattice parameters around the ring is allowed for, which is the case for typical strong-focusing lattices presently being studied. It is found that the emittance growth corresponds to a tendency of the beam rest-frame momentum space to relax to a spherical shape. Finally, the results were applied to the Antiproton Accumulator and Energy Saver lattices currently being built at Fermilab. (author)
