Abstract :
A comprehensive experimental program was carried out at the University of Maryland Beam Transport facility to study the longitudinal beam physics of space-charge dominated bunches. This investigation included the behavior of (a) bunches with parabolic line charge profile, (b) bunches with rectangular line charge profile, and (c) local perturbations (slow and fast waves) in rectangular bunches. The major experimental results are presented in this paper
