Studies at Cesrta of Electron-cloud-induced Beam Dynamics for Future Damping Rings

چکیده
Electron clouds can adversely affect the performance of accelerators, and are of particular concern for the design of future low emittance damping rings. Studies of the impact of electron clouds on the dynamics of bunch trains in Cesr have been a major focus of the Cesr Test Accelerator (CesrTA) program. In this paper, we report measurements of coherent tune shifts, emittance growth, and coherent instabilities carried out using a variety of bunch currents, train configurations, beam energies and transverse emittances, similar to the design values for the ILC damping rings. The measurements will be compared with simulations which model the effects of electron clouds on beam dynamics, to extract simulation model parameters and to quantify the validity of the simulation codes.

Using Tune Shifts to Evaluate Electron Cloud Effects on Beam Dynamics at CesrTA
The proposed future International Linear Collider (ILC) will collide electrons and positrons. Because positrons are antimatter, they are harder to produce than electrons and need to be accumulated and conditioned in a damping ring. The Cornell Electron Storage Ring Test Accelerator (CesrTA) at the Cornell Laboratory for Accelerator-based Sciences and Education (CLASSE) is similar to the damping...
متن کاملFast Ion Instability Simulations for CesrTA
In 2008, it has been proposed to convert the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR) into a test accelerator, called CesrTA, for the proposed International Linear Collider (ILC) damping rings. One of the effects to be studied in CesrTA is fast ion instability. An electron beam ionizes residual gas in the vacuum chamber, resulting in positive ions being trapped in the beam’s potential. Fast ion ins...

The Cornell Electron Storage Ring has been reconfigured as a test accelerator (CesrTA) for damping ring R&D for the International Linear Collider (ILC). As part of the research effort, low emittance tuning techniques are being developed with a goal of achieving a vertical emittance approaching that of the ILC damping rings.
