Traveling wave method for simulating geometric beam coupling impedance of a beamscreen with pumping holes

Abstract

In particle accelerators, pumping holes in a vacuum chamber can be a source of unwanted broadband coupling impedance, leading to beam instabilities. Analytical methods have been previously developed to estimate the impedance of holes in circular-like chambers e.g. the beamscreen of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). More sophisticated chamber designs like that of the High Energy LHC (HE-LHC) and the Future Circular Collider (FCC-hh) call for a different way to calculate the impedance. We propose using decomposition of the wakefield into synchronous traveling waves and employing a numerical solver to find the impedance of each wave. This method is compared to the direct time domain wakefield calculation method and its greater sensitivity to small impedances is shown
