Motivation Within the LIU project, the LEIR intensity will rise to 8e10 charges/bunch (reached already in 2016). High intensities are not limited by coherent instabilities at present thanks to the action of the transverse feedback. Nevertheless a fast transverse instability in coasting beam is observed if we set the transverse feedback off. How much margin we have? Questions to be answered with MDs: Which kind of instability develops w/o damper? How good is the transverse impedance model?

Tune shift (coasting beam) Measurement procedure: Coasting beam accumulated (damper on, ecooler on) Intensity scan: beam scraping through instability with damper off. Ecooler function unchanged to have reproducible momentum distribution and avoid tune shift due to chromaticity. Δ 𝑄 𝑦 = −3.3±0.4 ⋅ 10 −4 80% Δ 𝑄 𝑡ℎ =−2.7⋅ 10 −4

Tune shift (bunched beam) Measured tune shift of peak line density with BBQ Past result shown (details in M. Migliorati’s LIU-IONS PS Injectors 19/07/2016) Δ 𝑄 𝑦 = −2.0±0.1 ⋅ 10 −3 80% Δ 𝑄 𝑡ℎ =−1.6⋅ 10 −3 (scaling with bunching factor from a coasting beam) On the good path considering the impedance model partially developed…!

Transverse coasting beam instability Studied the coasting beam instability occurring w/o damper on the vertical plane Trace recorded as sequence of sampled windows of TFB pickup 41 Mode at 1.9 MHz develops first. Beam spectral lines are every 𝑛+ 𝑄 𝑦 𝑓 0 , i.e. n=-8 is unstable with growth rate of 40 s^-1/1e10 charges 1/tau = 40 s^-1

Transverse coasting beam instability Predictions from the impedance model n=-8 n=-3 n=-3 -> 0.26 𝒔 −𝟏 n=-8 -> 0.1 𝒔 −𝟏 The measurement is ~150 times faster than max predicted growth rate (resistive wall)! Do we have an HOM? Need to determine fr, R and Q: Resonance frequency fr would be ~1.9 MHz Shunt impedance R would be proportional to the growth rate What about the Q factor?

Q factor determinatin Changing the tune, we move the coasting beam line around the HOM frequency: 𝒇 𝒏 = 𝑛+ 𝑄 𝑦 𝑓 0 Max: ~40 𝑠 −1 Min: ~20 𝑠 −1 For 𝑸 𝒚 >𝟎.𝟕𝟓 large error bars due to additional incoherent losses. Growth rate halved if Δ𝑄=0.05 →Δ𝑓≃50 𝑘𝐻𝑧 →𝑄= 𝑓 𝑟 2Δ𝑓 ≃20

HOM equivalent model From the measurements we derive: fr ~1.9 MHz HOM source? -> developing an HOM LEIR impedance model starting from large and dispersive elements (e-cooler, cavities, segmented kickers, ….)

Effect of chromaticity Coasting beam stabilization can be provided by betatron spread 𝑆 𝑝 with chromaticity: 𝑺 𝒑 = 𝑓 𝑛 + 𝑸′ 𝜂 𝑓 0 𝜂 Δ𝑝 𝑝 Having η<0 at injection, 𝑆 𝑝 passes a minimum for specific values of 𝑛. Spread assuming Δ𝑝 𝑝 = 1e-3 and injection energy. 1.9 MHz Theory: unstable only around Q’ ~ 5 Measurement: unstable for Q’ < 7.5 Discrepancy to be further investigated (Q changes with Q’?)

Outline Motivation LEIR impedance model Measurements of transverse impedance Measurements of transverse coasting beam instability Conclusions and next steps

Conclusions and next steps The developed LEIR impedance model can explain so far ~80% of the machine observed tune shift both in coasting and bunched beam. The observed fast vertical instability is not currently predicted by the model and it is ~150 times faster than resistive wall. HOM equivalent resonator model can be derived with parameters: fr ~1.9 MHz | R ~28 𝑀Ω 𝑚 | Q ~ 20 From theory the growth rate of the instability is predicted only for Q’ around 5 but it is currently not clear why , for Q’<5 the measurements still show instability. MD time: Measurements took place from 23/07/2016 to 16/12/2016: 86 MD slots of 6h (516h requested) 50%: cycle set-up (injection efficiency, e-cooler optimization, …) 20%: script debugging (in view of systematic scans in intensity, tune, chromaticity) 30%: data acquisition Overall, enough time to learn the machine (and profit from having learnt!) Next steps: Offline resonant mode identification. Confirm (or not) the measured Q’ dependence accounting for Q variations. Measure Δ𝑝/𝑝 for coasting beam and corresponding growth rate scan. Measure stability diagram with BTF (hint of additional effects like amplitude detuning and space charge)

Effect of chromaticity Coasting beam w/o damper w/o cooling Q’ scan from -10 to 10 units (knob value) Q’ < -7.5: incoherent losses

Effect of chromaticity Coasting beam w/o damper w/o cooling Q’ scan from -10 to 10 units (knob value) 1/tau = 40 s^-1 Q’ < -7.5: incoherent losses -5 < Q’ < 7.5: coherent losses: instability of n = -8 line (1.9 MHz)

Effect of chromaticity Coasting beam w/o damper w/o cooling Q’ scan from -10 to 10 units (knob value) Q’ < -7.5: incoherent losses -5 < Q’ < 7.5: coherent losses: instability of n = -8 line (1.9 MHz) Q’ > 7.5: n = -8 stabilizes, higher frequency lines unstable (8 to 12 MHz). Discrepancy with theory -> to be further investigated (Q changes with Q’?)

Stability diagrams Momentum spread translates to Landau damping for each specific line ad we can draw the corresponding stability diagram*. Q’=3 Q’=5 Q’=8 Stability diagram can currently only explain why we are stabilized above Q’=5. Landau damping only from momentum spread here Contribution of amplitude detuning + space charge may lead to important stability diagram modifications. * Details in e.g. J.L.Laclare, Coasting beam instabilities, 1992 CAS Jyväskylä, CERN 94-01, pp. 349)
