The paper considers a beam interaction with a feedback system and major limitations on the beam damping rate. In particular, it discusses: limitations on the system gain and damping rate, feedback system noise and its effect on the beam emittance growth, x-y coupling effect on damping, suppression of high order modes and damping of slip-stacked beams.

  A high bandwidth transverse feedback demonstrator system has been devised within the LARP framework in collaboration with SLAC for the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) Project. The initial system targeted the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at CERN to combat TMCI and electron cloud instabilities induced for bunches with bunch lengths at the 100 MHz scale. It features a very fast digital signal processing system running at up to 4~GS/s and high bandwidth kickers with a frequency reach of ultimately beyond 1~GHz. In recent years, the system has gradually been extended and now includes two stripline kickers for a total power of 1~kW delivering correction signals at frequencies of currently more than 700~MHz. This talk will cover recent studies using this demonstrator system to overcome TMCI limitations in the SPS. We will conclude with future plans and also briefly mention potential applications and requirements for larger machines such as the LHC or the HL-LHC.

TUP2WA05 Effect of the Extraction Kickers on the Beam Stability in the CERN SPS impedance, simulation, extraction, cavity 189

  Longitudinal beam instability in the CERN SPS is a major limitation in the ability to achieve the bunch intensities required for the goals of the High-Luminosity LHC project (HL-LHC). One of the major drivers in limiting the intensity of the machine is the broadband contribution to the beam-coupling impedance due to the kicker magnets. The extraction kickers (MKE) discussed in this paper are known to give a significant contribution to the overall longitudinal beam-coupling impedance. We present the results of bench measurements of the MKE's impedance to determine the accuracy of electromagnetic simulation models from which the impedance modelused for beam dynamics simulationsis constructed. In addition, we discuss the feasibility and implementation of beam measurements that can indicate the contribution of the MKE magnets to the longitudinal beam-coupling impedance of the SPS.

WEA2WA02 Microbunched Electron Cooling (MBEC) for Future Electron-ion Colliders electron, hadron, plasma, collider 243

The Microbunched Electron Cooling (MBEC) is a promising cooling technique that can find applications in future hadron and electron-ion colliders. In this paper we give a qualitative derivation of the cooling rate for MBEC and estimate the cooling time for the eRHIC electron-ion collider. We then argue that MBEC with two plasma amplification stages should be sufficient to overcome the emittance growth due to the intra-beam scattering in eRHIC.

WEP2PO001 Upgraded Transverse Feedback for the CERN PS Booster betatron, feedback, hardware, booster 256

    CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
 
  A new transverse feedback system is being used for the 4 rings of the CERN Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB). In addition to transverse instabilities mitigation - within the range of 100 kHz to 100 MHz - the system allows for controlled beam emittance blow-up, machine tune measurement and other optic studies. The system was upgraded in order to multiply by 8 its power (800 W instead of 100 W on each of the 4 kicker electrodes) and in order for its electronic core to employ a digital processing. The transverse feedback adapts automatically to a factor 3 change in the beam revolution period and to any change of the machine tune. It includes an excitation source that combines up to 9 selectable harmonics of the revolution frequency with a selectable amplitude for each. The excitation may be dipolar or quadrupolar. Future possible upgrades will be presented including a setup to tackle half-integer tune values and a digital processing using a fixed clock frequency instead of the revolution frequency clock.

  The extraction system is a key part of the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) accelerator. It consists of two kinds of magnets: eight kickers and one lambertson. During the beam commissioning, the timing adjustment of eight kickers is a very important problem. In the paper, the methods to adjust the timing of eight kickers will be studied and applied to the beam commissioning. Then, the best method to adjust the timing of eight kickers will be given and used for a long time in the future.

The PIP-II program of upgrades proposed for the Fermilab accelerator complex, is centered around a 800 MeV, 2 mA CW SRF linac. A unique feature of the PIP-II linac is the capability to form a flexible bunch structure by removing a pre-programmed set of bunches from a long-pulse or CW 162.5 MHz train, coming from the RFQ, within the 2.1-MeV Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) section. The MEBT chopping system consists of two travelling-wave kickers working in sync followed by a beam absorber. The prototype components of the chopping system, two design variants of the kickers and a 1/4-size absorber, have been installed in the PIP-II Injector Test (PIP2IT) accelerator and successfully tested with beam of up to 5 mA. In part, one of the kickers demonstrated a capability to create an aperiodic pulse sequence suitable for synchronous injection into the Booster while operating at 500 V and average switching frequency of 44 MHz during 0.55 ms bursts at 20 Hz. This report presents the design of the PIP-II MEBT chopping system and results of prototypes testing at PIP2IT.
