Transverse beam resonance in the superconducting linac of the Spallation Neutron Source

A weak transverse resonance in the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) superconducting linac is identified in computer simulations, and is believed to be one of the mechanisms behind measured beam losses. This weak resonance is induced by the nonlinear dodecapole component of the linac quadrupole magnet...
