Abstract

The Fermilab accelerator complex is in the middle of an upgrade plan Fermilab III. In the last phase of this upgrade the luminosity of the Tevatron will increase by at least one order of magnitude. In order to keep the number of interactions per crossing manageable for experiments, the number of bunches will be increased from 6×6 to 36×36 and finally to ~100×100 bunches. The beam dynamics of the Tevatron has been studies from the beam-beam effect point of view in a “strong-weak” representation with a single particle being tracked in the presence of the other beam. This paper describes the beam-beam effect in the 6×6 operation of the Tevatron
