FIG. 6.2: A plot of the threshold current versus the change in quadrupole strength showing the effect of point-to-point focusing. At approximately 250 G the change in phase advance makes the M34 element of the recirculation matrix from the cavity back to itself equal to zero before changing sign and leading to a negative threshold current. back to itself. For a quadrupole strength of approximately 250 G the phase advance from cavity 7 back to itself is equal to nπ, where n is an integer. Therefore M34 can be expressed as 143 M34 ∝ sin(∆ψ) = sin(nπ + δ) = (−1) n δ (6.9) where δ is the variation of the phase advance from nπ. It follows that for small variations, δ is proportional to the change of the quadrupole strength. For a change in the quadrupole strength of +300, the BTF measurements yielded a negative threshold. This indicates that M34 changed its sign and the product M ∗ sin(ωTr) is positive.

6.2.3 Discussion The method of point-to-point focusing proved to be a straightforward and effec- tive method to suppress BBU much of the time. This is due to the fact that there is only a single dangerous mode that prohibits operation with 10 mA of beam current (see Table 4.2). One of the attractive features of this method is that the beam optics remain decoupled transversely and that the beam envelopes are minimally effected. There are, however, some limitations to this method. For an extended linac containing many dangerous modes, it may not be advantageous to modify the phase advance. While one mode may be stabilized, in all likelihood the resulting change in phase advance will have harmful effects on other modes which were previously not a threat for BBU. Although this was never investigated in earnest, there is evidence to suggest that this situation occurred in the FEL when the threshold current became as low as 400 µA. Adequate suppression was generated for the HOMs in cavity 7, but the resulting change in phase advance caused an order of magnitude increase in the M34 element of the recirculation matrix from cavity 1 back to itself, from which BBU was facilitated at an even lower threshold current. Therefore care should be taken when applying this method to large-scale ERLs with extended linacs. 6.3 Local Reflection The idea behind implementing a local reflector is to map a BBU-induced vertical kick into the horizontal plane, and likewise to map a BBU-induced horizontal kick into the vertical plane. The transport matrix describing a reflection about a plane at 45 ◦ to the horizontal or vertical axis takes the following form, where each element represents a 2 × 2 matrix 144
