Macroparticle model for longitudinal emittance growth caused by negative mass instability in a proton synchrotron

Both theoretical models and beam observations of negative mass instability fall short of a full description of the dynamics and the dynamical effects. Clarification by numerical modeling is now practicable because of the recent proliferation of so-called computing farms. The results of modeling repo...
