| TUODAB01 | Variations of Betatron Tune Spectrum due to Electron Cloud Observed in KEKB | 825 |
|
||
|
In order to investigate the characteristics of electron clouds, the wake effects were measured at KEKB using a test bunch placed behind a bunch-train, where there was a rapid decay in the electron cloud density. The current-dependent tune-shift of the test bunch exhibited nonlinear behaviour in the vertical plane [1]. By observing the tune spectrum, we found that the spectrum width expanded and this was accompanied with a large negative tune slope at a low cloud density and at a low bunch current. However, as the cloud density increased, the spectrum width shrunk and this was accompanied with a positive tune slope. These experimental results suggested that a high electron cloud density caused an anti-damping effect in the tune spectrum. We believe that the variations in the tune slope and spectrum width might be related to the wake field in the resonator model, where the wavelength is comparable to the bunch length.

| MOZAKI01 | Compensation of the Crossing Angle with Crab Cavities at KEKB | 27 |

The crab cavities are presently being installed in the KEKB rings to compensate the crossing angle at collision and thus increase luminosity. This will be the first experience with such cavities in colliders. Results on the beam operation of the new cavities, both for single and colliding beams, will be presented including the luminosity performance and limitations.

| TUPMN045 | PF-Ring and PF-AR Operational Status | 1019 |

| In KEK, we have two synchrotron light sources which were constructed in the early 1980s. One is the Photon Factory storage ring (PF-ring) and the other is the Photon Factory advanced ring (PF-AR). The PF-ring is usually operated at 2.5 GeV and sometimes ramped up to 3.0 GeV to provide photons with the energy from VUV to hard X-ray region. The PF-AR is mostly operated in a single-bunch mode of 6.5 GeV to provide pulsed hard X-rays. Operational performances of them have been upgraded through several reinforcements. After the reconstruction of the PF-ring straight sections from March to September 2005, two short-gap undulators were newly installed. They allow us to produce higher brilliant hard X-rays even at the energy of 2.5 GeV. At present we are going to prepare a top-up operation for the PF-ring. In the PF-AR, new tandem undulators have been operated in one straight section since September 2006 to generate much stronger pulsed hard X-rays for the sub-ns resolved X-ray diffraction experiments. In this conference, we report operational status of the PF-ring and the PF-AR including other machine developments. | ||
| TUPAN045 | Beam Operation with Crab Cavities at KEKB | 1487 |

Beam operation with crab cavities is planned in early 2007 at KEKB. The crab crossing scheme is expected to increase the vertical beam-beam tune-shift parameter significantly. One crab cavity will be installed in each ring where conditions for beam optics are matched to compensate the beam crossing angle of 22 mrad. Operation results on collision tuning with the crab cavities will be presented.
