IPAC10, Kyoto, Japan, May 23-28, 2010 E-cloud feedback simulations - Vay et al. 18 Multi-bunch simulations: beware of electron injection procedure. Run of bunch (36,37) gives same emittance histories as (35,36). Single bunch runs with electron load (a)Uniform (b)Random refreshed at each time step (c)Random using load from t=0 => Bunch 36 experienced more noise than 35 because of random secondary electron generation. Why is emittance of 36 >> 35? Is it because raises by ~8%? Source of inconsistency?

IPAC10, Kyoto, Japan, May 23-28, 2010 E-cloud feedback simulations - Vay et al. 19 Summary and future work  Beam-ecloud self-consistent simulations are now within reach, allowing detailed understanding of the dynamics and control of beam instability via feedback systems.  Improvements to Warp-Posinst quasistatic model mesh refinement, secondary emission, gas ionization, better feedback model.  Multi-bunch simulations are now possible (thanks in part to parallelism).  Good qualitative and semi-quantitative agreement with experiment.  Modeling of bunches 35 and 36 in SPS at 26 GeV show effective damping from simulated feedback, provided that bandwidth cutoff>450 MHz.  Care must be exercised with interpretation due to statistical implications of electrons injection procedures.  A lot more work is needed, including: implementation of planed feedback n-tag prediction, filtering, etc; better control of numerical noise issue in simulations, eventually using as proxy to emulate real machine noise; replace smooth focusing with linear optics, etc.
