Manifestation of intrabeam scattering (IBS) in an electron/positron storage ring depends on the radiation damping time in two ways. First, the beam size is the equilibrium of the IBS growth rate in each of the three degrees of freedom and corresponding damping rates. Second, scattering events that occur less frequently than order once per damping time contribute to non-Gaussian tails that are invisible to our beam size monitors. The tail cut procedure excludes these relatively rare events in the calculation of equilibrium beam size. In machines with short damping times, the tail cut significantly reduces the effective IBS growth rate. At CesrTA, we measure the dependence of beam size on bunch charge in IBS-dominated beams. We vary the vertical emittance using a closed optics bump that increases the vertical dispersion and transverse coupling in the wiggler regions. Measurements are taken at both 2.1 and 2.3 GeV. Here we report the results of these experiments and compare those results to theory.

In storage rings, the presence of horizontal dispersion in the RF cavities introduces x-z coupling. The result is that the beam is skewed in the horizontal-longitudinal plane. The skew angle is proportional to the V15 term of the 6X6 coupling matrix which is proportional to the RF cavity voltage and the horizontal dispersion in the cavity. Here we report experiments at CesrTA where x-z coupling was explored using three distinct lattice configurations with different V15 coupling terms. We explore x-z coupling for each of these lattices by measuring the horizontal projection of the beam with a beam size monitor, as the RF voltage is varied. The first lattice has about 1 m dispersion in the RF cavities, resulting in a V15 term at the beam size monitor source point corresponding to 16 mrad x-z tilt. In the second, the V15 generated in one pair of cavities is compensated at the second pair by adjusting the horizontal betatron phase advance between the cavity pairs. In the third, the optics are adjusted so that the RF cavity region is dispersion-free, eliminating the coupling entirely. Additionally, intra-beam scattering is evident in our measurements of beam size vs. RF voltage.

  One of the central goals of the CESR Test Accelerator program is to understand electron cloud (EC) effects in lepton rings and how to mitigate them. To this end, measurements of the secondary electron yield (SEY) of technical surfaces are being done in CESR. The CESR in-situ system, in operation since 2010, allows for measurements of SEY as a function of incident electron energy and angle on samples that are exposed to a realistic accelerator environment, typically 5.3 GeV electrons and positrons. The system was designed for periodic measurements to observe beam conditioning of the SEY and discrimination between exposure to direct photons from synchrotron radiation versus scattered photons and cloud electrons. Measurements so far have been done on bare metal surfaces (aluminum, copper, stainless steel) and EC-mitigatory coatings (titanium nitride, amorphous carbon, diamond-like carbon). A significant decrease in SEY with exposure to beam was observed for all cases other than the amorphous C samples; for the latter, the SEY remained near 1, independent of beam exposure. The SEY results are being used to improve predictive models for EC build-up and EC-induced beam effects.
