Wake fields due to the wall roughness of the vacuum chamber can catch up to the bunch causing energy spread and emittance growth. Several theoretical models were developed in the past which showed rather different importance of this effect. Some models suggest that wake field due to the wall roughness can be minimized if the vacuum chamber surface can be characterized by a large aspect ratio of the surface roughness (characteristic length to the height of surface bumps). To explore these effects several surfaces were measured * and direct numerical simulations were performed for such realistic surfaces. Here we discuss results of such direct simulations for real surface data and compare them with expectations based on analytic models.
* Surface measurements used in these studies were performed by P. Takacs from the Instrumentation Division of BNL.
