FIG. 5.12: A plot of 1/Qeff versus the average beam current from the data in Fig. 5.11.<br />

The intersection of the least squares fit (functional form given on the plot) with the<br />

horizontal axis determines the threshold current to be 2.4 mA.<br />

If M ∗ sin(ωTr) > 0, the slope of 1/Qeff changes its sign and becomes positive. In<br />

this case, the height of the resonance peak decreases and the quality factor becomes<br />

smaller as the beam current increases. This is illustrated in Fig. 5.13 which shows<br />

the results of the BTF measurement for the 2114 MHz mode located in cavity 4. The<br />

line 1/Qeff crosses the horizontal axis at a negative beam current. Figure 5.14 shows<br />

that the fit of the experimental data has a positive slope and crosses the horizontal<br />

axis at −8.3 mA, thus indicating the mode is stabilized with this particular optics<br />

configuration. (The slight frequency shift (few Hz) of the resonance curve peak -<br />

most evident in Fig. 5.13 - results from changes in the mechanical tuner which are<br />

initiated by the low level RF system to maintain cavity gradient and phase as the<br />

current increases.)<br />
