Bunch Length Measurements in the SLC Damping Ring
نویسندگان
چکیده
The synchrotron light of the SLC damping ring was used to measure the bunch length with a streak camera at different times in the damping cycle. There are bunch length oscillations after injection, different equilibrium length during the cycle due to rf manipulations to avoid microwave instability oscillations, and just before extraction there is a longitudinal phase space rotation (bunch muncher) to shorten the bunch length. Measurements under these different conditions are presented and compared with BPM pulse height signals. Calibration and adjustment issues and the connection of the streak camera to the SLC control system are also discussed.

Measuremexts of Longitudinal Phase Space in the Slc Linac’
In-the Stanford Linear Collider the beam leaves a damping ring and then enters the Ring-to-Linac (RTL) transfer line. In the RTL it is compressed in length by a factor of 10 by means of an rf section, with which a longitudinally correlated energy variation is induced in the beam, and a following beam line which has non-zero momentum compaction. The compressed beam then enters the linac proper. ...
متن کاملImpedance Calculations for the Improved Slc Damping Rings*
A longitudinal, single bunch instability is observed in the damping rings of the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC).[l] Beyond a threshold bunch population of 3 x 10” particles the bunch energy spread increases and a “saw-tooth” variation in bunch length and synchronous phase as functions of time is observed. Although the relative amplitude of the saw-tooth variation is small-only on the order of l...
متن کاملSimulation Studies of the Slc Bunch Compressor (rtl)*
In the 1994/95 SLC run, bunch lengthening in the damping ring along with overcompression in the two ring-to-linac transport lines (RTLs) have caused a normal beam loss of about 10-20% between entrance and end of the RTLs, which constitutes a major hindrance to further luminosity increases of the SLC. This paper summarizes studies of both longitudinal and six-dimensional dynamics in the RTL, and...
متن کاملBunch Lengthening Calculations for the Slc Damping Rings’
The problem of bunch lengthening in electron storage rings has been treated by many people, and there have been many experiments. In the typical experiment, the theory is used to determine the impedance of the ring. What has been lacking thus far, however, is a calculation of bunch lengthening that uses a carefully calculated ring impedance (or wakefield). In this paper we begin by finding the ...
متن کاملSimulation of Bunch Precompression at High Currents in the Slc Damping Rings
In the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC) each beam, after leaving a damping ring, is compressed in the Ring-to-Linac (RTL) transfer line before entering the linear accelerator. At a bunch population of 4:0 10 particles, due to the limited energy acceptance of the RTL, approximately 15% of the beam has normally been lost. During the 1996 run, however, to eliminate this loss the bunch was partially ...
