The passage of a positron bunch through an initially homogeneous electron cloud (e-cloud) changes the distribution of the e-cloud in a way that the concentration of electrons in the proximity of the beam axis grows rapidly. The electrons are primarily moving in the transverse plane and are very sensitive on the beam centroid position in that plane. Thus the transverse kick of the e-cloud on the tail particles depends on the centroid position of the head particles of the same bunch. A PIC simulation of the interaction of a positron beam with an e-cloud yields the wake kick from the electrons on the tail particles for a certain offset in the transverse centroid position of the head parts of the bunch. With such a pre-computed 2D wake matrix, for a certain e-cloud density, we investigate the stability of a single bunch by tracking it through the linear optics of the storage ring while at each turn applying the kick from the e-cloud. We examine the positron bunch stability of KEKB-LER and PETRAIII for a certain electron cloud density.
