The Poisson solver in the Beam Beam 3d code is described in Ref.[6]. Two beam s are
sim ulated with m acroparticles generated with a random distribution in phase space. The

The additionalphase advance isapplied to each particle in the decoupled coordinatebasis

There are two coherent transverse m odes in the case ofsim ple beam -beam collisions
between equalintensity beam s without synchrotron m otion: the � m ode where the two

beam soscillate with the sam e phase,and the � m ode where the two beam soscillate with
opposite phases [10]. W ithout synchrotron m otion,the � m ode m ode has the sam e tune
as unperturbed betatron m otion while the � m ode frequency is o�set by K �,where the
param eterK isapproxim ately equalto and greaterthan 1 and dependson the transverse

W e sim ulated the VEPP-2M colliderusing Courant-Snyderuncoupled m aps. The hori-
zontalem ittance in the VEPP-2M beam ism uch largerthan the verticalem ittance. The

In order to excite synchrobetatron m odes,we set an initialy o�set ofone beam sigm a
approxim ately m atching theexperim entalconditions.
Longitudinale�ectsofthebeam -beam interaction weresim ulated by dividing thebunch
into six slices. At the interaction point,bunches drift through each other. Particles in
overlapping slices are subjected to a transverse beam -beam kick calculated by solving the
2D Poisson equation for the electric �eld with the charge density from particles in the
overlapping beam slice.
Sim ulation runswith arangeofbeam intensitiescorrespondingtobeam -beam param eters

in Ref.[12].Foreach sim ulation run,m odepeakswereextracted from theFouriertransform

Understandingthee�ectofunwanted long-rangecollisionsam ongm ultiplebeam bunches
in the design and operation ofhadron colliders hasreceived attention from otherauthors
[2,19]which underscores the im portance for this kind ofsim ulation. A schem atic ofthe
�llpattern ofproton and antiproton bunches in the Tevatron is shown in Fig.7. There
are three trains oftwelve bunches foreach species. A train occupies approxim ately 81:5�
separated by a gap ofabout38:5�. The bunch train and gap are replicated three tim esto
�llthering.Bunchescollidehead-on attheB0 and D0 interaction pointsbutundergo long
range(electrom agnetic)beam -beam interactionsat136 otherlocationsaround thering[24].
Running thesim ulation with all136 long-rangeIPsturnsoutto bevery slow so weonly
calculated beam -beam forcesatthetwo m ain IPsand and thelong-rangeIPsim m ediately
upstream and downstream ofthem .Thetransversebetafunctionsatthelong-rangecollision
locations are m uch larger than the bunch length,so the beam -beam calculation at those
locationscan beperform ed using only the2D solver.
Oneinteresting consequence ofthe�llpattern and thehelicaltrajectory isthatany one
ofthe 12 bunches in a train experiences collisionswith the 36 bunches in the otherbeam
at di�erent locations around the ring,and in di�erent transverse positions. This results
in a di�erent tune and em ittance growth for each bunch ofa train,but with the three-
fold sym m etry for the three trains. In the sim ulation,em ittance growth arises from the
e�ects ofim pedance acting on bunches that have been perturbed by beam -beam forces.
Thephenom enon ofbunch dependentem ittancegrowth isobserved experim entally[20].

W ebegan theinvestigation ofthesee�ectswith a sim ulation ofbeam swith two bunches

we ran with 2:2� 1011 particles,which givesa single bunch beam -beam param eterof0:01.

oftheTevatron hasto bem anaged carefully to avoid thedevelopm entofa head-tailinsta-

Landau dam ping introduced by beam -beam interaction isstrong enough to m aintain beam
stability atchrom aticity of+2 units(in Tevatron operations,chrom aticity is��=(�p=p).)
Attheearlierstagesofthecollidercycle,when beam -beam e�ectsarelim ited to long-range
interactions the chrom aticity waskept ashigh as15 unitssince the concern was thatthe
Landau dam ping is insu�cient to suppress the instability. At the sam e tim e,high chro-
m aticity causesparticlelosseswhich areoften largeenough to quench thesuperconducting
m agnets,and henceitisdesireableto keep itata reasonablem inim um .
