YACS is a 2.5D finite element method solver capable of solving for the full 3D eigenfrequency spectra of resonant axisymmetric structures while reducing the computational problem to a 2D rotation plane. The most recent revision of YACS now supports arbitrary order basis functions for the geometry and field discretization. In earlier revisions of YACS spurious modes were introduced by increasing the order of either the geometry or field basis functions. To prevent the emergence of spurious modes, YACS now matches the function spaces of the in-plane and out-plane function basis, and thus yields spurious free solutions. To demonstrate the capabilities of YACS, extensive cavity characterization studies on curved multicell microwave cavities are presented. Due to the combined utilization of the rotation symmetry, higher order basis functions and curved elements, eigenfrequency spectra above 10 GHz for L-band multicell structures can be easily obtained.

  The slow orbit feedback at the electron storage ring at DELTA will be upgraded with new software. Finding a set of dipole-field-strength variations which minimize the deviation of the orbit from a reference orbit requires solving a convex optimization problem subject to inequality constraints. This work focuses on exploiting properties of a special type of interior point methods, which can solve this problem, for orbit correction at DELTA. After comparing runtimes of an interior point method to a Newton-like optimization algorithm, the performance of the new slow-orbit-feedback software is assessed based on measurement results.

Since 2008, longitudinal coupled-bunch instabilities are suppressed at DELTA by a modulation of the phase of the accelerating RF field inside the cavity. To achieve a deeper understanding of the interaction of both effects, experimental studies have been made in 2016. These studies show a quadratic dependency of the coupled-bunch mode damping rates on the phase modulation amplitude. Recently, a numerical particle tracking code has been developed to confirm the experimental results. It is based on long range wake field effects produced inside an RF cavity acting on multi particle bunches of arbitrary charge, together with phase focusing by a phase modulated accelerating field. The numerical results confirm the quadratic dependency of damping rates on the phase shift obtained in experimental studies before.
