Abstract

The University of Maryland electron ring (UMER) is a low‐energy, high current recirculator for beam physics research with relevance to any applications that rely on intense beams of high quality. We review the space‐charge physics issues, both in transverse and longitudinal beam dynamics, which are currently being addressed with UMER: emittance growth and halo formation, strongly asymmetric beams, Montague resonances, equipartitioning, bunch capture and shaping, etc. Furthermore, we report on recent developments in experiments, simulations, and improved diagnostics for space‐charge dominated beams.
