and is used to accelerate charged particles due to the fact that the electric field is strongest on-axis, ρ = 0. The TM110 modes are given by Ez(ρ, φ, z) = E0J1 Hφ(ρ, φ, z) = iE0 x11ρ R ɛ0ω110R x11 J ′ 1 R 83 cos(φ) (4.5) x11ρ cos(φ) (4.6) The electric field vanishes on-axis, but for small off-axis displacements grows linearly. These modes are typically referred to as dipole HOMs due to the behavior of the magnetic field. A plot of the electric and magnetic fields in ρ−φ space is shown in Fig. 4.2. With these field configurations in mind, the mechanism which facilitates BBU can be understood. The magnetic field deflects a particle on the first pass (even if it travels on-axis) and is transformed into a displacement, the magnitude of which depends on the machine optics, through the cavity on the second pass. As the par- ticle travels off-axis through the cavity, energy can be exchanged with the electric field depending on the phase of the beam relative to the field. Under certain condi- tions the beam can couple energy to the HOM which in turn more strongly deflects trailing particles traveling through the cavity. Hence a feedback loop is generated between the recirculated beam and the cavity dipole HOM fields which can become unstable if the average beam current exceeds the threshold current. 4.2 Derivation of the BBU Threshold Current In this section, the threshold current is derived by equating the energy dissi- pated by the cavity to the energy deposited by the beam into the HOM [65]. In Section 4.4 an alternate derivation is outlined which uses the concept of the wake

Consider a two-pass energy recovering linac with a single RF cavity which contains a single dipole HOM. While it is true that dipole HOMs occur in orthogonal pairs, for reasons that will be discussed in Section 4.7, one polarization can be safely neglected for the derivation. The change in the stored energy of a dipole HOM due to the passage of a bunch of charge q is given by 84 r ∆U = −qVa cos φ (4.7) a where Va is the accelerating HOM voltage at the beam pipe radius a induced by all previous bunches, r is the off-axis displacement of the bunch and φ is the phase of the bunch relative to the maximum HOM electric field. In previous analytic treatments of BBU, the off-axis displacement had always been assumed to be collinear with an HOM polarized at either 0 ◦ or 90 ◦ . Now
