JOINT LHC/SL SEMINAR:<br>Coherent beam-beam effects in the LHC

Description
The beam-beam interaction is one of the most limiting factors in the LHC. Since both LHC beams have equal intensities, coherent beam-beam effects can become important. Significant progress has been made in recent years in understanding these effects and their consequences for the LHC. The concept of coherent beam-beam modes is introduced and the importance of Landau damping for their supression is discussed. A survey of the present studies is made with emphasis on the effects important for the LHC and recently developped tools for their evaluation are presented.

Organiser(s): Werner Herr (SL) and Ruediger Schmidt (AC)

Note: Tea and coffee will be served at 15:30 in front of the Auditorium
