Abstract

The radiation reaction (beamstrahlung) effect on particle dynamics during interaction of oppositely charged beams is studied. It is shown that the beam focusing can be strongly enhanced due to beamstrahlung. An approximate analytical solution of the motion equations including the radiation reaction force is derived. The disruption parameter is calculated for classical and quantum regime of beamstrahlung. The analytical model is verified by QED-PIC simulations. The model for head-on collision of long beams undergoing a number of betatron oscillation during interaction is also developed. It is demonstrated that the beamstrahlung-enhanced disruption effect can play an important role in future lepton colliders with high-current particle beams.
