Space Charge Effects in Isochronous FFAGs and Cyclotrons

Effects of space charge forces on the beam dynamics of isochronous rings will be discussed. Two different kinds of phenomena will be introduced through a brief review of the literature on the topic. The first one is a consequence of the very weak vertical focusing found in the low energy region of most cyclotrons. The space charge tune shift further reduces the vertical focusing, setting an upper limit on instantaneous current. The second one arises from the fact that longitudinal phase space is frozen in isochronous rings. This leads to effects of space charge forces which are very peculiar to isochronous machines. We will finally present the simulation tools being developed at TRIUMF to study these effects.
