A prototype of an analog, transverse (vertical) feedback system for active damping of the two-stream (e-p) instability has been developed and successfully tested at the Los Alamos Proton Storage Ring (PSR). This talk describes the system configuration, results of several experimental tests and studies of system optimization along with studies of the factors limiting its performance.

WEXC02 The Impedance Database Computation and Prediction of Single Bunch Instabilities 1996

  Funding: Work supported by the U. S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357.

The Impedance Database is a standardized 3D computation of the wake potential generated by a high-intensity beam. The database concept is described and compared to analytical and model-based approaches. The talk will address the computational challenges introduced by tapers, collimators, and very short bunches. Finally, single-bunch instabilities are predicted through tracking and compared to measurements at the Advanced Photon Source and other accelerators.
