  The dual-axial scan streak camera plays an important role in the super-fast optical measurement and the beam diagnosis of the accelerators. Indeed, the development of the synchrotron light measurement system by virtue of the streak camera provides an effective tool and research platform for accelerator physics and super-fast optical phenomenon. In this paper, the configuration of the streak camera measurement system is roughly described. And the experimental researches are simultaneously performed, including the bunch lengthening, the potential-well distortion, the longitudinal bunch oscillations, and the beam evolution during the single bunch operation mode in the HLS-II storage ring. Moreover, the effects of the RF modulation on the beam lifetime and longitudinal bunch beam dynamics are carried out.

An instability of the beam position growth is observed in the beam commissioning of the Rapid Cycling Synchrotron of the China Spallation Neutron Source. To simplify the study, a series of measurements have been performed to characterize the instability in the DC mode with consistent energy of 80 MeV. The measurement campaign is introduced in the paper and it conforms to the characteristics of the coupled bunch instability.

The head-tail instability caused by the beam interaction with short-range wakefields is a major limitation for the single-bunch beam intensity in circular accelerators. The combined effect of the transverse feedback systems and chromaticity suppressing the instability is discussed. Theoretical and experimental studies of the head-tail instability and methods of its mitigation are reviewed. Results of experimental studies of the transverse mode coupling carried out at NSLS-II are compared with the theoretical model and numerical simulations.

RF phase modulation at twice the synchrotron frequency can be used to split a stored electron bunch into two or more bunchlets orbiting each other. We report on time-resolved measurements at the Karlsruhe Research Accelerator (KARA), where this bunch splitting was used to increase the threshold current of the microbunching instability, happening in the short-bunch operation mode. Turning the modulation on and off reproducibly affects the sawtooth behavior of the emitted coherent synchrotron radiation.

  The luminosity of lead ion collisions in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was significantly increased during the 2018 ion run by reducing the bunch spacing from 100 ns to 75 ns, allowing to increase the total number of bunches. With the new 75 ns variant, three instead of four bunches are generated each cycle in the Low Energy Ion Ring (LEIR) and the Proton Synchrotron (PS) with up to 30% larger intensity per bunch. The beam was produced with satisfactory quality but at the limit of stability in the injectors. In particular, the minimum longitudinal emittance in the PS is limited by a strong longitudinal microwave instability occurring just after transition crossing. The uncontrolled blow-up generates tails, which translate into an unacceptably large satellite population following the RF manipulations prior to extraction from the PS. In this paper, instability measurements are compared to particle simulations using the latest PS impedance model to identify the driving impedance sources. Moreover, means to mitigate the instability are discussed.

WEPAB245 A Possible Modification of Ceramic Chambers in the Injection Area at the RCS in J-PARC 3205

  The J-PARC RCS is composed of ceramic chambers covered over copper stripes to suppress the eddy current on the chamber. The inductance, comprising the copper stripes and flanges, in combination with the capacitors makes an LCR electric circuit with the chamber and can cause field modulation in the chamber. Though most chambers are not harmful at the RCS, the chambers at the injection area excite beam losses, because a trapezoid field pattern is excited to accumulate LINAC beam during the injection period. In this report, we consider several types of ceramic chambers to suppress the field modulation. One type is a ceramic chamber covered over copper stripes in parallel with damping resistors. Another is that covered over spiral copper stripes with only capacitors.

WEPAB246 Influence of Different Beam Energies on the Micro-Bunching Instability 3209

    KIT, Karlsruhe, Germany
 
  During the operation of an electron synchrotron with short electron bunches, the beam dynamics are influenced by the occurrence of the micro-bunching instability. This collective instability is caused by the self-interaction of a short electron bunch with its own emitted coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR). Above a certain threshold bunch current dynamic micro-structures start to occur on the longitudinal phase space density. The resulting dynamics depend on various parameters and were previously investigated in relation to, amongst others, the momentum compaction factor and the acceleration voltage. In this contribution, the influence of the energy of the electrons on the dynamics of the micro-bunching instability is studied based on measurements at the KIT storage ring KARA (Karlsruhe Research Accelerator).

THXA02 Overview of the Micro-Bunching Instability in Electron Storage Rings and Evolving Diagnostics 3686
 
  • M. Brosi
    KIT, Karlsruhe, Germany
 
  The micro-bunching instability is a longitudinal instability that leads to dynamical deformations of the charge distribution in the longitudinal phase space. It affects the longitudinal charge distribution, and thus the emitted coherent synchrotron radiation spectra, as well as the energy distribution of the electron bunch. Not only the threshold in the bunch current above which the instability occurs, but also the dynamics above the instability threshold strongly depends on machine parameters, e.g., natural bunch length, accelerating voltage, momentum compaction factor, and beam energy. All this makes the understanding and potential mitigation or control of the micro-bunching instability an important topic for the next generation of light sources and circular e+/e colliders. This presentation will give a review on the micro-bunching instability and discuss how technological advances in the turn-by-turn and bunch-by-bunch diagnostics are leading to a deeper understanding of this intriguing phenomenon.
