The Touschek Effect in Strong Focusing Storage Rings

Abstract

The lifetime of a stored beam due to the Touschek effect is calculated for arbitrary ratios of beam height to beam width. A variation of the beam envelopes is taken into account, i.e. the derivatives of the horizontal and vertical amplitude functions and dispersions are included. The calculation is done for arbitrary energies in the rest frame of the colliding particles.
