| At high currents and small bunch lengths beam line components in the PEP-II B-factory experience RF induced heating from higher order RF modes (HOMs) produced by scattered intense beam fields. A design for a passive HOM water cooled absorber for the PEP-II low energy ring is presented. This device is to be situated near HOM producing beamline components such as collimators and provide HOM damping for dipole and quadrupole modes while minimizing impedance to the beam. We present a method of optimizing the impedance characteristics of such devices through the evaluation of loss factors and absorber effectiveness for specific modes using scattering parameter and wakefield analysis. |
