Experimental investigation of random noise-induced beam degradation in high-intensity accelerators using a linear Paul trap

A random noise-induced beam degradation that could affect intense beam transport over long propagation distances has been experimentally investigated by making use of the transverse beam dynamics equivalence between an alternating-gradient focusing system and a linear Paul trap system. For the prese...
