Simulation Results of a Feedback Control System to Damp Electron Cloud Single-Bunch Transverse Instabilities in the CERN SPS
Secondo, R.
Traverse Single-Bunch Instabilities due to Electron Cloud effect are limiting the operation at high current of the SPS at CERN. Recenly a high-badnwidth Feedback System has been proposed as a possible solution to stabilize the beam and is currently under study. We analyze the dynamics of the bunch actively damped with a simple model of the Feedback in the macro-particle code WARP, in order to investigate the limitations of the System such as the minimum amount of power required to maintain stabi...

Traverse Single-Bunch Instabilities due to Electron Cloud effect are limiting the operation at high current of the SPS at CERN. Recenly a high-badnwidth Feedback System has been proposed as a possible solution to stabilize the beam and is currently under study. We analyze the dynamics of the bunch actively damped with a simple model of the Feedback in the macro-particle code WARP, in order to investigate the limitations of the System such as the minimum amount of power required to maintain stability. We discuss the feedback model, report on simulation results and present our plans for further development of the numerical model. Show Partial Abstract
