Varying chromaticity: A damping mechanism for the transverse head-tail instability
نویسندگان
چکیده
A detailed analytical and numerical study of the suppression of the transverse head-tail instability by modulating the chromaticity over a synchrotron period is presented. We find that a threshold can be developed, and it can be increased to a value larger than the strong head-tail instability threshold. The stability criterion derived agrees very well with the simulations. The underlying physical mechanisms of the damping scheme are rotation of the head-tail phase such that the instability does not occur, and Landau damping due to the incoherent betatron tune spread generated by the varying chromaticity. @S1063-651X~97!02410-0#

Damping of the Transverse Head-Tail Instability by Periodic Modulation of the Chromaticity

متن کاملDestabilising Effect of Linear Coupling in the Hera Proton Ring
Since the first start-up of HERA in 1992, a transverse coherent instability has appeared from time to time at the beginning of the acceleration ramp. In this process, the emittance is blown up and the beam is partially or completely lost. Although the instability was found to be of the head-tail type, and the chromaticity and linear coupling between the transverse planes was recognized as essen...
متن کاملTransverse Instabilties in the Esrf Storage Ring: Simulation, Experimental Results and Impedance Modelling
Transverse coherent single bunch motions are studied theoretically and experimentally for the ESRF machine. Starting from the mode-merging instability observed at low chromaticities, the head-tail mode frequencies and current thresholds are measured systematically in the vertical plane as functions of chromaticity, beam current, RF voltage and optics. Measurement of damping and growth rates of ...
متن کاملTransverse Instability Analysis for the Ipns Upgrade
The proposed 1-MW spallation neutron source upgrade calls for a 2-GeV rapidly-cycling synchrotron (RCS) with an intensity of 1 . 0 4 ~ 1 0 ~ ~ protons per pulse [l]. The potential exists for the excitation of collective, intensity-dependent transverse instabilities. These can normally be controlled by introducing a betatron tune shift or spread, where care is exercised to avoid single-particle ...
متن کاملFurther Studies on Betatron Sidebands Due to Electron Clouds
We have observed vertical betatron sidebands in the transverse beam spectra of positron bunches at the KEKB LER which are associated with the presence of electron clouds in single-beam studies[1], and which are also associated with a loss of luminosity when the KEKB beams are in collision[2]. The sidebands appear to be signals of a fast head-tail instability due to short-range wakes within the ...
