Control of Oscillation Amplitudes

Description: This report analyzes methods of correcting for the anti-damping of the radial betatron oscillations. Practical methods of reducing the anti-damping are to couple the radial and vertical betatron oscillations by means of a rotated magnetic quadrupole lens, or to add a magnetic structure which has a decrease in radiation loss for increasing radius of particles. It is shown that the damping ration cannot be changed by shaping the R.F. cavities.
