The betatron growth rates for intrabeam scattering are defined as,
The following is general to all bunched beams,
where T p {\displaystyle T_{p}} , T h {\displaystyle T_{h}} , and T v {\displaystyle T_{v}} are the momentum spread, horizontal, and vertical are the betatron growth times. The angle brackets <...> indicate that the integral is averaged around the ring.
Definitions:
IBS can be seen as a process in which the different "temperatures" try to equilibrate. The growth rates would be zero in the case that
which the factor of γ {\displaystyle \gamma } coming from the Lorentz transformation. From this equation, we see that due to the factor of γ {\displaystyle \gamma } , the longitudinal is typically much "colder" than the transverse. Thus, we typically get growth in the longitudinal, and shrinking in the transverse.
One may also the express conservation of energy in IBS in terms of the Piwinski invariant
where η s = 1 γ 2 − α c {\displaystyle \eta _{s}={\frac {1}{\gamma ^{2}}}-\alpha _{c}} . Above transition, with just IBS, this implies that there is no equilibrium. However, for the case of radiation damping and diffusion, there is certainly an equilibrium. The effect of IBS is to cause a change in the equilibrium values of the emittances.
In the case of a coupled beam, one must consider the evolution of the coupled eigenemittances. The growth rates are generalized to 1 τ 1 , 2 , 3 = 1 ϵ 1 , 2 , 3 d ϵ 1 , 2 , 3 d t {\displaystyle {\frac {1}{\tau _{1,2,3}}}={\frac {1}{\epsilon _{1,2,3}}}{\frac {d\epsilon _{1,2,3}}{dt}}}
Intrabeam scattering is an important effect in the proposed "ultimate storage ring" light sources and lepton damping rings for International Linear Collider (ILC) and Compact Linear Collider (CLIC). Experimental studies aimed at understanding intrabeam scattering in beams similar to those used in these types of machines have been conducted at KEK,6 CesrTA,7 and elsewhere.
