Description

We investigate effects of quantum fluctuation, potential well distortion, quantum lifetime, and Touschek lifetime of the quasi-isochronous (QI) dynamical system. The Fokker-Planck equation is employed to study the equilibrium bunch distribution. The quantum lifetime in the moderate damping regime is compared with analytical formulae. The effects of harmonic radio-frequency phase modulation on equilibrium distribution function, quantum lifetime reduction, and the occurrence of stochastic resonance are studied. The formula for the Touschek lifetime for the QI dynamical system is derived and studied. copyright 1997 The American Physical Society
