Beam-Breakup Instability Theory for Energy Recovery Linacs
Here we will derive the general theory of the beam-breakup instability in
recirculating linear accelerators, in which the bunches do not have to be at
the same RF phase during each recirculation turn. This is important for the
description of energy recovery linacs (ERLs) where bunches are recirculated at
a decelerating phase of the RF wave and for other recirculator arrangements
where different RF phases are of an advantage. Furthermore it can be used for
the analysis of phase errors of recirculated bunches. It is shown how the
threshold current for a given linac can be computed and a remarkable agreement
with tracking data is demonstrated. The general formulas are then analyzed for
several analytically solvable cases, which show: (a) Why different higher order
modes (HOM) in one cavity do not couple so that the most dangerous modes can be
considered individually. (b) How different HOM frequencies have to be in order
to consider them separately. (c) That no optics can cause the HOMs of two
cavities to cancel. (d) How an optics can avoid the addition of the
instabilities of two cavities. (e) How a HOM in a multiple-turn recirculator
interferes with itself. Furthermore, a simple method to compute the orbit
deviations produced by cavity misalignments has also been introduced. It is
shown that the BBU instability always occurs before the orbit excursion becomes
very large.Comment: 12 pages, 6 figure
Study of the process in the c.m. energy range from threshold to 2 GeV with the CMD-3 detector
Using a data sample of 6.8 pb collected with the CMD-3 detector at the
VEPP-2000 collider we select about 2700 events of the process and measure its cross section at 12 energy ponts with about
6\% systematic uncertainty. From the angular distribution of produced nucleons
we obtain the ratio
Study of the process in the energy range \sqrt{s} = \mbox{1.05-2.00} GeV with the SND detector
The process is studied in the center-of-mass
energy range 1.05-2.00 GeV using data with an integrated luminosity of 94.5
pb collected by the SND detector at the VEPP-2000 collider. The
cross section is measured for the first time. It is
shown that the dominant mechanism of this reaction is the transition through
the intermediate state. The measured cross section of the
subprocess is consistent with previous
measurements in the mode. It is found, with a
significance of 5.6, that the process is not
completely described by hadronic vector-pseudoscalar intermediate states. The
cross section of this missing contribution, which can originate from radiation
processes, e. g. , is measured. It is found to be
15-20 pb in the wide energy range from 1.3 to 1.9 GeV.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figures, to be submitted to European Physical Journal
