Abstract :
We study the space-charge effects on the stability of low energy synchrotron accelerators with a Gaussian beam distribution. We show that the tune shift is not uniform throughout the beam, but decreases as a function of particle amplitude. The amplitude dependance leads to an equation for the region of beam instability due to integer resonance
