Transverse compression of an intense ion beam propagating through an alternating-gradient quadrupole lattice

The transverse compression and dynamics of an intense beam propagating through an alternating-gradient quadrupole lattice, plays an important role in many accelerator physics applications. Typically, the compression can be achieved by means of increasing the focusing strength of the lattice along th...
