Notes
- 1.
The beam emittance is a measure of the average spread of the beam in position and momentum space.
- 2.
The value of \(\beta ^*\) can be defined as the distance from the interaction point in the direction of the beam where the width of the beam envelope is twice as large as at the interaction point. It is a measure of how much the beam is squeezed towards the interaction point.
- 3.
A radiation length \(X_0\) corresponds to the mean distance over which a high-energy electron loses the fraction \(1-(1/e)\) of its original energy by Bremsstrahlung processes where \(e\) denotes Euler’s constant.
- 4.
The interaction length \(\lambda \) is defined as the mean free path of a high-energy particle in a material before undergoing inelastic scattering.
