  An investigation into the microbunching instability at Diamond Light Source has recently been conducted. Beyond the instability threshold, the bunch emits bursts of coherent synchrotron radiation with wavelengths comparable to the bunch length or shorter. The operating conditions for producing the instability include both normal optics, and low-alpha optics, where the bunch length can be shortened to a few picoseconds. A Michelson interferometer has been designed and installed utilising a silicon crystal wafer beamsplitter. Large bandwidth, room temperature pyroelectric detectors and low-noise, fast-response Schottky Barrier diode detectors have been employed to generate interferograms. In this paper, we describe the observed spectral content and the resulting calculated bunch length.

  As a charged particle beam passes through structures, wake fields can deposit a fraction of the energy carried by the beam as characterised by the wake loss factor. Some part of the deposited energy will be emitted into the beam pipe, some part can be coupled out of signal ports and some part will be absorbed by the materials of the structures. With increasingly higher stored currents, we require a better understanding of where all the energy deposited by wake losses ends up in order to avoid damaging components. This is of particular concern for diagnostics structures as they are often designed to couple a small fraction of energy from the beam, which makes them susceptible to thermal damage due to increased localised losses. We will detail the simulation and analysis approach which we have developed to quantify power deposition within structures. As an example the analysis of a beam position monitor pickup block of the Diamond storage ring is shown.
