An electron (or positron) multi-bunch train traversing several thousand accelerator structures can be distorted by long-range wakefields left behind the accelerated bunches. These wakefields can at the very least, give rise to a dilution in the emittance of the beam and, at worst can lead to a beam break up instability. We investigate the emittance dilution that occurs for various frequency errors (corresponding to small errors made in the design or fabrication of the structure) for the GLC/NLC (Global Linear Collider/Next Linear Collider) and for TESLA (Terra Electron Superconducting Linear Accelerator). Resonant effects, which can be particularly damaging, are studied for X-band and L-band linacs. Simulations are performed with the computer codes LIAR[1] and L-MAFIA[2].

| MOPLT133 | Beam Loading and Higher-band Longitudinal Wakes in High Phase Advance Traveling Wave Accelerator Structures for the GLC/NLC | 848 |
|
||
| A multi-bunch beam traversing traveling wave accelerator structures, each with a 5pi/6 phase advance is accelerated at a frequency that is synchronous with the fundamental mode frequency. As per design, the main interaction occurs at the working frequency of 11.424 GHz. However, modes with frequencies surrounding the dominant accelerating mode are also excited and these give rise to additional modal components to the wakefield. Here, we consider the additional modes in the context of X-band accelerator structures for the GLC/NLC (Global Linear Collider/Next Linear Collider). Finite element simulations, mode-matching and circuit models are employed in order to calculate the wakefield. | ||
| WEPLT157 | Single-bunch Electron Cloud Effects in the GLC/NLC, US-cold and TESLA Low Emittance Transport Lines | 2206 |
|
||
| In the beam pipe of the Beam Delivery System (BDS) and Bunch Compressor system (BCS) of a linear collider, ionization of residual gasses and secondary emission may lead to amplification of an initial electron signal during the bunch train passage and ultimately give rise to an electron-cloud. A positron beam passing through the linear collider beam delivery may experience unwanted additional focusing due to interaction with the electron cloud. This typically leads to an increase in the beam size at the interaction point (IP) when the cloud density is high. Interaction with the electron cloud in the bunch compressor could also potentially cause an instability. This paper examines the severity of the electron cloud effects in the BCS and BDS of both the GLC/NLC and US-Cold linear collider design through the use of specially developed simulation codes. An estimate of the critical cloud density is given for the BDS and BCS of both designs. | ||
| THPLT156 | Simulations of IP Feedback and Stabilization in the NLC | 2822 |
|

| Keeping nanometer-sized beams in collision is an essential component in achieving design luminosity in a linear collider. The NLC stabilization strategy is conservative by including enough redundancy so that if some piece doesn't work to specification or the incoming beam motion is worse than expected, the beams will still be kept in collision. We show simulation results with both realistic and pessimistic assumptions about the response of the ground motion, inertial stabilization, interbunch and intertrain feedback systems. By providing backup systems, and by assuming that some systems may perform more poorly than expected, we can achieve a high level of confidence in our ability to successfully stabilize the beams. | ||
| WEPLT155 | Effect of Dark Currents on the Accelerated Beam in an X-band Linac | 2200 |
|
||
| X-band accelerating structures operate at surface gradients up to 120-180 MV/m. At these gradients, electron currents are emitted spontaneously from the structure walls ("dark currents") and generate additional electromagnetic fields inside the structure. We estimate the effect of these fields on the accelerated beam in a linac using two methods: a particle-in-cell simulation code MAGIC and a particle tracking code. We use the Fowler-Nordheim dependence of the emitted current on surface electric field with field enhancement factor beta. In simulations we consider geometries of traveling wave structures that have actually been built for the Next Linear Collider project. | ||
| THPLT159 | Instability Thresholds and Generation of the Electron-cloud in the GLC/NLC and Tesla Damping Rings | 2828 |
|
||
| In the beam pipe of the Damping Ring (DR) of a linear collider, an electron cloud may be produced by ionization of residual gas and secondary emission. This electron cloud can reach equilibrium after the passage of only a few bunches. We present recent computer simulation results for the main features of the electron cloud generation in the GLC/NLC main DR and for the TESLA DR. Single and multi-bunch instability thresholds are also calculated for the NLC main DR. The results are obtained by the computer simulation codes HEAD-TAIL and POSINST, which were developed to study the electron cloud effect in particle accelerators. |
