Transverse mode-coupling instability (TMCI) is known to limit bunch intensity. Since space charge (SC) changes coherent spectra, it affects the TMCI threshold. Generally, there are only two types of TMCI with respect to SC: the vanishing type and the strong space charge (SSC) type. For the former, the threshold value of the wake tune shift is asymptotically proportional to the SC tune shift, as it was first observed twenty years ago by M. Blaskiewicz for exponential wakes. For the latter, the threshold value of the wake tune shift is asymptotically inversely proportional to the SC, as it was shown by one of the authors. In the presented studies of various wakes, potential wells, and bunch distributions, the second type of instability was always observed for cosine wakes; it was also seen for the sine wakes in the case of a bunch within a square potential well. The vanishing TMCI was observed for all other wakes and distributions we discuss in this paper: always for the negative wakes, and always, except the cosine wake, for parabolic potential wells. At the end of this paper, we consider high-frequency broadband wake, suggested as a model impedance for CERN SPS ring. As expected, TMCI is of the vanishing type in this case. Thus, SPS Q26 instability, observed at strong SC almost with the same bunch parameters as it would be observed without SC, cannot be TMCI.

Transverse mode-coupling instability (TMCI) with a high-frequency resonator wake is examined by the Nested Head-Tail Vlasov solver (NHT), where a Gaussian bunch in a parabolic potential (GP model) is represented by concentric rings in the longitudinal phase space. It is shown that multiple mode couplings and decouplings make impossible an unambiguous definition of the threshold, unless Landau damping is taken into account. To address this problem, instead of a single instability threshold, an interval of thresholds is suggested, bounded by the low and high intensity ones. For the broadband impedance model, the high intensity threshold is shown to follow Zotters scaling, but smaller by about a factor of two. The same scaling, this time smaller than Zotters by a factor of four, is found for the ABS model (Air Bag Square well).
The space charge forces are those generated directly by the charge distribution, with the inclusion of the image charges and currents due to the interaction of the beam with a perfectly conducting smooth pipe. Space charge forces are responsible for several unwanted phenomena related to beam dynamics, such as energy loss, shift of the synchronous phase and frequency, shift of the betatron frequencies, and instabilities. We will discuss in this lecture the main feature of space charge effects in high-energy storage rings as well as in low-energy linacs and transport lines.
The head-tail modes are described for the space charge tune shift significantly exceeding the synchrotron tune. A general equation for the modes is derived. The spatial shapes of the modes, their frequencies, and coherent growth rates are explored. The Landau damping rates are also found. The suppression of the transverse mode coupling instability by the space charge is explained.
When a resistive feedback and single-bunch wake act together, it is known that some head-tail modes may become unstable even without space charge. This feedback-wake instability, FWI, modified by space charge to a certain degree, is shown to have a special single-maximum increasing- dropping pattern with respect to the gain. Also, at sufficiently large Coulomb and wake fields, as well as the feedback gain, a new type of transverse mode-coupling instability is shown to take place, 3FMCI, when head-to-tail amplified positive modes couple and the growth rate saturates with the gain.
Transverse beam stability is strongly affected by the beam space charge. Usually it is analyzed with the rigid-beam model. However this model is only valid when a bare (not affected by the space charge) tune spread is small compared to the space charge tune shift. This condition specifies a relatively small area of parameters which, however, is the most interesting for practical applications. The Landau damping rate and the beam Schottky spectra are computed assuming that validity condition is satisfied. The results are applied to a round Gaussian beam. The stability thresholds are described by simple fits for the cases of chromatic and octupole tune spreads.
