For the successful operation of various accelerator facilities a detailed bunch characterization is required. A complete description can be achieved using various diagnostic systems installed along an accelerator beamline. Ideally the diagnostic should be able to measure parameters of a single bunch in a non-destructive manner. For bunch length measurements this results in a complicated task es...

Micro-bunching instabilities limit the longitudinal compression of bunches in an electron storage ring. They create substructures on the bunch profile of some hundred micrometer size leading to coherently emitted synchrotron radiation in the THz range. To detect the changing THz spectrum, single-shot bunch-by-bunch and turn-by-turn measurements are necessary. We present recent experiments at AN...

This paper considers the process of Thomson scattering of coherent diffraction radiation (CDR) produced by the preceding electron bunch in the accelerator onto one of the subsequent bunches. It is shown that the yield of scattered hard photons is proportional to N(3)(e), where N(e) is the number of electrons per bunch. A geometry is chosen for the CDR generation and an expression is obtained fo...

In the nal-focus system of a linear collider, the e ect of longitudinal space charge can be signi cant. A diverging or converging ultra-relativistic beam experiences a longitudinal space-charge force which is independent of the beam energy. This force, though weak and often neglected, causes an energy variation across the bunch which depends on the beam size, beam-pipe radius and bunch populati...

After extraction, the damping ring (DR) bunch length is eom@essed in the RTL (Ring-To-Linac) transport line to achieve the desired linac bunch length. For this, an energy spread is induced proportional to the DR bunch length, producing large, aperture filling, horizontal beam sizes in the dispersive regions of the RTL. There, nonlinear magnetic fields and wakefields cause higher order dispersio...

KEKB has transformed to an effective head-on collision by using of crab cavities from a crossing collision and gained a higher specific luminosity. A gated beam-position monitor, being capable of measuring the beam phase as well as the transverse position of a specific bunch in a bunch train, has been developed and is used to measure a beam-beam kick. The monitor estimated the effective horizon...

First real-time studies of ultra-fast processes by single-bunch imaging at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility are reported. By operating the storage ring of the ESRF in single-bunch mode with its correspondingly increased electron bunch charge density per singlet, the polychromatic photon flux density at insertion-device beamlines is sufficient to capture hard X-ray images exploiting t...

The beam lifetime in electron storage rings concerns machines running in decay mode as well as machines doing topup. A standard procedure to increase the lifetime is via bunch lengthening as the lifetime depends on the electron density in the bunch. Bunch lengthening is typically achieved with higher harmonic (Landau) cavities. As noted in [1], there are several advantages in using a different ...

Measurements of the electron cloud effects in KEKB have been done since ECLOUD02 workshop. The results are summarized as 1) strength of the solenoid field in the present solenoid system is not enough to suppress the blow-up of the vertical beam size at high bunch currents and/or narrow bunch spacing, 2) solenoids in straight sections as well as arc sections contribute to suppress the electron c...
