8. In general, the beam intensity and emittance are determined by the space charge effect, where the half integer resonance can cause beam envelope oscillations, dilution of beam emittance, and beam loss (after Ref. 6). The choice of beam emittance is based on the space charge tune shift limit, where the incoherent space charge tune shift serves as a scaling factor.
