The Hawking-Unruh Temperature and Damping in a Linear Focusing Channel
Abstract
Description
The Hawking-Unruh effective temperature, hbar a* / 2 pi c k, due to quantum fluctuations in the radiation of an accelerated charged-particle beam can be used to show that transverse oscillations of the beam in a practical linear focusing channel damp to the quantum-mechanical limit. A comparison is made between this behavior and that of beams in a wiggler.
