Impact of bunch intensity asymmetry in colliders featuring strong beamstrahlung
Khoi Le Nguyen Nguyen, Xavier Buffat, Peter Kicsiny +1
An analytical investigation of beamstrahlung-induced blow-up in Gaussian beams with arbitrary dimensions is presented, using various approximations for the strength of the hourglas…
Beam-beam
Xavier Buffat
The interaction of the two beams in a collider leads to a variety of effects that may limit the performance of the machine. This lecture introduces the basic aspects necessary to u…
Impact of beam asymmetries at the Future Circular Collider e+e-
Peter Kicsiny, Xavier Buffat, Khoi Le Nguyen Nguyen +2
In this paper we present detailed simulations with asymmetric initial beam settings in the context of the proposed Future Circular Collider e+e- (FCC-ee) using the Xsuite framework…
MuCol Milestone Report No. 7: Consolidated Parameters
Rebecca Taylor, Antoine Chancé, Dario Augusto Giove +459
This document is comprised of a collection of consolidated parameters for the key parts of the muon collider. These consolidated parameters follow on from the October 2024 Prelimin…
Landau Damping
Xavier Buffat
Landau damping is a key mechanism to preserve the stability of particle beams under the influence of various collective forces that would otherwise spoil its quality through beam i…
The Muon Collider
Carlotta Accettura, Simon Adrian, Rohit Agarwal +450
Muons offer a unique opportunity to build a compact high-energy electroweak collider at the 10 TeV scale. A Muon Collider enables direct access to the underlying simplicity of the…

A muon source based on planar channelling radiation
Xavier Buffat
The usage of channelling radiation arising from a high energy electron beam traversing a crystal for the production of an intense low emittance muon beam is investigated. The optim…
Incoherent horizontal emittance growth due to the interplay of beam-beam and longitudinal wakefield in crab-waist colliders
Peter Kicsiny, Demin Zhou, Xavier Buffat +2
In this paper, we investigate quadrupolar sychrobetatron resonances caused by beam-beam collisions and their interplay with longitudinal wakefields in the context of crab-waist col…
Towards a Muon Collider
Carlotta Accettura, Dean Adams, Rohit Agarwal +294
A muon collider would enable the big jump ahead in energy reach that is needed for a fruitful exploration of fundamental interactions. The challenges of producing muon collisions a…
pyTRAIN -- a modern TRAIN implementation
Michi Hostettler, Xavier Buffat, Tobias Persson +2
The TRAIN code, developed in 1995 as a post-processor for second-order transport maps from MAD, has been used extensively at the LEP and the LHC to study self-consistent closed orb…
