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.

Direct space charge may be quantified, and hence the beam brightness observed, by measuring the quadrupolar beam modes in the CERN Proton Synchrotron (PS). The spectrum of the transverse beam size oscillations (i.e. the quadrupolar beam moment) contains valuable information: the betatron envelope modes and the coherent dispersive mode indicate optics mismatch, while their frequency shifts due to space charge allow a direct measurement thereof. To measure the quadrupolar beam moment we use the Base-Band Q-meter system of the PS which is based on a four electrode stripline pick-up. Past experiments with quadrupolar pick-ups often investigated coasting beams, where the coherent betatron and dispersion modes correspond to single peaks in the tune spectrum. In contrast, long bunched beams feature bands of betatron modes: the mode frequencies shift depending on the transverse space charge strength which varies with the local line charge density. By using the new transverse feedback in the PS as a quadrupolar RF exciter, we measured the quadrupolar beam transfer function. The beam response reveals the distinct band structure of the envelope modes as well as the coherent dispersive mode.

  Quadrupolar moment measurements based on electromagnetic pick-ups (PU), like BPMs, have attracted particular interest as non-intercepting diagnostics to determine the transverse beam size. Here, the second-order moment, which contains information about the beam size, is extracted from the BPM electrode signals. Despite the simplicity of the concept, quadrupololar measurements have always been challenging in practice. This is related to the fact that the quadrupolar moment constitutes only a very small part of the total PU signal, which is dominated by the contributions of beam intensity and position. In this study we discuss the limitations of absolute quadrupolar measurements if applying traditional BPM technologies, and we propose a new approach to efficiently overcome them via movable PUs. Moreover, we highlight the potential use of BPMs as an emittance measurement system during the energy ramp at synchrotrons by performing differential quadrupolar measurements, which show a remarkably higher accuracy than absolute measurements. Dedicated studies using different types of BPMs in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN demonstrated promising results.
