Review of the transverse impedance budget for the CLIC damping rings

Abstract

Single bunch instability thresholds and the associated coherent tune shifts have been evaluated in the transverse plane for the damping rings (DR) of the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC). A multi-kick version of the HEADTAIL code was used to study the instability thresholds in the case where different impedance contributions are taken into account such as the broad-band resonator model in combination with the resistive wall contribution from the arcs and the wigglers of the DR. Simulations performed for positive values of chromaticity showed that higher order bunch modes can be potentially dangerous for the beam stability
