Linear perturbation analysis of the RMS envelope equations predicts a frequency splitting of the transverse envelope resonances with the onset of space charge. These resonances are a potential source of beam degradation for space-charge-dominated particle accelerators and storage rings. We use WARP for both envelope code integration and particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations to predict the behavior of these resonances for an existing alternating gradient lattice storage ring. The focus of these simulations is tailored toward examining physics that is scalable to future high-intensity accelerators. This paper provides detailed simulation results and a design for an experimental demonstration at the University of Maryland Electron Ring (UMER), a high intensity 10 keV electron storage ring.
