Theory predicts that coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) in electron storage rings should appear in whispering gallery modes, which are resonant modes of the vacuum chamber, characterized by their high frequencies and concentration near the outer wall of the chamber. Such modes produce an extended wake field behind a particle bunch, which can influence the CSR from a succeeding bunch in a train. We review experimental evidence for the resonances * and for the inter-bunch communication. We then present a calculation based on Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equations which confirms an effect seen experimentally, namely that increasing the charge in a leading bunch increases the radiation from a following bunch.
