4.8 Results of BBU Simulations<br />

Modeling BBU requires information to fully characterize the HOMs of interest<br />

and also an accurate description of the machine optics. An HOM is characterized by<br />

its frequency, loaded quality factor, polarization, and R/Q. The first three were mea-<br />

sured directly from the cold cryomodule while the R/Q was obtained from MAFIA<br />

models [75]. Machine optics describing an 88 MeV beam energy configuration were<br />

generated from “all-save” values of the magnet strengths and RF cavity gradients.<br />

A feature of each of the three BBU simulation codes is the ability to explicitly define<br />

transfer matrices for each accelerating cavity. In this way cavity RF focusing can<br />

be included, which is known to have an appreciable effect, particularly at the front<br />

end of the linac where the energy of the injected beam is 7 MeV.<br />

4.8.1 FEL Upgrade Without Zone 3<br />

Initial commissioning of the FEL Upgrade Driver proceeded with only zone 2<br />

and zone 4 installed on the beamline. Microwave measurements to characterize the<br />

dipole HOMs in each cryomodule - similar to the methods described in Section 4.6.1<br />

- had already been performed [76]. The only difference was the manner in which<br />

HOM polarizations were measured. Because the zone 2 and 4 cryomodules are based<br />

on the 5-cell cavity design and utilize waveguide HOM couplers, the polarization was<br />

measured by noting which mode was perturbed by inserting a probe in the vertical<br />

and then the horizontal waveguide.<br />

Simulating the measured modes from the two cryomodules for an 88 MeV ma-<br />

chine configuration results in a threshold current of 43.1 mA. The mode responsible<br />

for the instability is vertically polarized and located in cavity 6 of zone 2 with a<br />

frequency of 1891.120 MHz, an R/Q of 22.1 Ω and a loaded Q of 2.1 × 10 5 . Thus,<br />
