Abstract
The general question of how a beam becomes unstable has been one of the fundamental research topics among beam and accelerator physicists for several decades. In this study, we revisited the general problem of linear beam stability in periodic focusing systems by applying the concepts of Krein signature and band structure. We numerically calculated the eigenvalues and other associated characteristics of one-period maps, and discussed the stability properties of single-particle motions with skew quadrupoles and envelope perturbations in high-intensity beams on an equal footing. In particular, an application of the Krein theory to envelope instability analysis was newly attempted in this study. The appearance of instabilities is interpreted as the result of the collision between eigenmodes of opposite Krein signatures and the formation of a band gap.
