Unusual fourth order core deformation in y-phase space is observed in the simulation of SNS ring without lattice imperfections. The fourth order core deformation happens for a wide range of tunes, whereas an asymmetric deformation takes place when bare tune ν y is 5.53 to 5.74. When ν y is close to 6, 2:1 resonance appears in both planes. Extensive numerical simulation indicates that the difference resonance 2ν x -2ν y =0 from space charge potential and dispersion effect are playing a crucial

This is unusual because the SNS ring under model has a perfect four-fold symmetry and operating points are far from structural resonances. Also an interesting observation on equipartitioning is presented in section 4.
