FIG. 4.4: Output from M<strong>AT</strong>BBU showing the results of scanning the frequency in the<br />

complex current plane for the horizontal (red) and vertical (green) planes. The inset<br />

figure shows the region around the origin where the lowest current to intersect the real<br />

current occurs at 2.1 mA.<br />

This capability is especially useful for gaining insight into how good (or poor) the<br />

HOM spectra are. For example, it can determine if there exist a myriad of HOMs<br />

which lead to low threshold currents or if it is due to a single, particularly bad HOM.<br />

4.6 Measuring HOM Parameters<br />

In order to adequately benchmark the BBU simulation codes, it is imperative<br />

that as many of the input parameters as possible be measured directly. The data<br />

required by the simulations can be divided into categories that describe; (1) the<br />

beam parameters (2) the machine optics and (3) the HOM parameters. The beam<br />

parameters, such as average current and energy, are well known from the acceler-<br />

ator diagnostics. Characterizing the machine optics is discussed in more detail in<br />
