Funding: Supported by US National Science Foundation (PHY-0734867) & Dept. of Energy (DE-FC02-08ER41538) The study of electron cloud-related instabilities for the CESR-TA project permits the observation of the interaction of the electron cloud with the stored beam under a variety of accelerator conditions. These measurements are undertaken utilizing automatic and semi-automatic techniques for three basic observations: the measurement of tune shifts of individual bunches along a train, the detection of the coherent self-excited spectrum for each bunch within a train and the pulsed excitation of either the betatron dipole or head-tail mode for each individual bunch within the train, followed by the observation of the damping of its coherent motion. These techniques are employed to study the electron cloud-related interactions in a number of conditions, such as trains of bunches with low emittance and spaced by as little as 4 nsec between bunches. We report on the most recent observations and results. |
