  • Flat hadron beam collisions, though expected to enhance peak luminosity by about an order of magnitude, have not yet been demonstrated. Our study reveals a critical limitation: realistic fluctuations, when amplified by synchro-betatron resonance, lead to transverse emittance transfer in flat-beam collisions. Using beam-beam simulations based on Electron-Ion Collider design parameters, we show that this effect leads to vertical emittance growth, which can distort the flat-beam profile and degrade luminosity. We propose a dynamic focusing scheme that combines sextupoles with crab cavities to suppress the hourglass-induced resonance. This approach increases tolerance to fluctuations and improves the robustness of flat-beam collisions. This practical mitigation facilitates the adoption of flat-beam collisions in next-generation lepton-hadron colliders.
