V 1/2] G. Stancari FNAL § Studies with 5 T / 5 A, and reduced beam pipe diameter (60 mm) show relative good results But space charge effects are not directly a show stopper! Rather, they might limit the maximum acceptable electron beam current and thus the cleaning efficiency O. Brüning, Chamonix Performance Workshop 2018 3
