Funding: This work partially supported by the US Department of Energy through the US LHC Accelerator Research Program (LARP) under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231. The Montague resonance provides a coupling between the vertical and the horizontal dynamics of beams and can cause particle losses due to unequal aperture sizes of the accelerator. In this paper, we present a new numerical simulation study of a previous Montague resonance crossing experiment at the CERN PS including detailed three-dimensional space-charge effects and machine nonlinearity. The simulation reproduces the experimental data and suggests that the longitudinal synchrotron motion played an important role in enhancing transverse resonance coupling. |
