Abstract
We report on our recent simulation results on the disruption effects during the interaction of round beams in linear colliders. It is found that in addition to the well-known disruption parameter D, the disruption effects also depend on another parameter A≡/, where is the bunch length and the β function at the interaction point. It turns out that while the luminosity enhancement factor is insensitive to A only in the small-D (D≲1) regime, the disruption-angle enhancement factor behaves oppositely. Specifically, we found that for large D, is suppressed as 1/ √D , and increases monotonically without saturation. Moreover, for fixed D, varies as a function of ln(1/A). Computer analysis further suggests that in the large-D and small-A regime a confinement mechanism is developed near the beginning of the collision: particles once pinched tend to be trapped in a much smaller radius throughout the process. A theoretical model is provided to qualitatively explain the above findings.
