Saturation of the coherent beam-beam instability

The nonlinear regime of the beam-beam instability for flat beams is considered. Excitation of coherent modes and mode interaction is studied above the threshold of instability. It is shown that the exponential growth of the linear approximation may saturate, leading to a finite growth of transverse...
