4.4 Alternate Derivation of the BBU Threshold<br />

Current<br />

As electron bunches travel through the accelerator, they generate electromag-<br />

netic fields which interact with their surrounding environment (e.g. the vacuum<br />

chamber and RF cavities) and are called wakefields.<br />

After passing through an RF cavity the transverse momentum of a trailing test<br />

charge is affected by the fields generated by the source particle. Consider a wakefield<br />

generated by an exciting charge, qe, traveling with coordinates r = (x ′ , y ′ , z ′ ) which,<br />

in turn, applies a force to the test charge, qt, following at a distance cτ behind the<br />

source. Restricting the beam motion to the x direction, the wake force is<br />

The wake function is defined as<br />

dpx<br />

dz = Ex(r, z/c + τ; d) − cBy(r, z/c + τ; d) (4.28)<br />

Solving for the change in transverse momentum in Eq. (4.28) and plugging into<br />

Eq. (4.29) yields<br />

W1(τ) = 1<br />

For several cases, analytic solutions of the wake function can be derived. The net<br />

effect on the beam due to wakefields is described by the wake potential and is<br />

determined by the convolution of the wake function with the charge distribution
