⎛ ⎜ ⎝ 0 M M 0 ⎞ 145 ⎟ ⎠ (6.10) The 2 × 2 sub-block transport matrix M is the same for both exchanges (x to y, y to x). Thus, such a reflector cleanly exchanges the horizontal and vertical phase spaces. To see how a reflection can be effective in suppressing BBU, consider Eqs. (6.10) and (4.21). Because M12 = M34 = 0, for a mode oriented at 0 ◦ or 90 ◦ the threshold current becomes infinite. However, if an HOM is rotated at an angle α, not equal to 0 ◦ or 90 ◦ , then the recirculated beam will not come back to the cavity with an angle (α + 90) ◦ and its projection on the HOM will be nonzero. To get an infinite threshold for all HOM polarizations requires that M32 = − M14. The statement concerning an infinite threshold current is made in the context for which Eq. (4.21) was derived, namely that only a single mode is present in the cavity. In reality, dipole HOMs come in pairs of orthogonal modes, and the feedback loop between the beam and the mode will be re-established through the coupled beam motions [72]. Nevertheless, some measure of suppression can be achieved by implementing such a scheme. 6.3.1 Implementing a Local Reflector A practical implementation of a local reflector using 5 skew quadrupoles has been non-invasively embedded in the 3F region of the FEL Upgrade Driver. Each skew quadrupole is simply a normal quadrupole which has been rotated 45 ◦ . Op- erationally, normal quadrupoles upstream and downstream of the module are used as betatron matching telescopes. These allow transverse matching of the phase spaces across the reflector so that the module remains transparent to the rest of the machine [87]. Beam envelopes through the 3F region are shown in Fig. 6.3. From an operational point of view, the local reflector is activated by first loading

FIG. 6.3: Beam envelopes (horizontal in red and vertical in blue) for the 3F region of the FEL with the five skew quadrupoles (blue) activated and illustrating the exchange of horizontal and vertical phase spaces. The central four normal quadrupoles (dotted) are de-excited during reflector operation and the upstream and downstream quadrupoles (black) are used as betatron matching telescopes. in the skew quadrupole strengths as determined from a model of the lattice. Directly translating the model values into the machine is typically sufficient to generate a reflection. To verify that the skew quadrupoles are correctly coupling the beam, four principle rays are launched through the local reflector module and the response of the downstream BPMs are monitored. Results of this process are illustrated in Figs. 6.4, 6.5, 6.6 and 6.7 [88]. Because the BPMs in the linac are not able to resolve two beam passes, the first several BPM readings are nonsensical. Figure 6.4 (Fig. 6.5) shows that a cosine-like (sine-like) trajectory in the horizontal plane is fully out-coupled into the vertical plane through the remaining 60 m of the recirculator to the beam dump. Likewise, Fig. 6.6 (Fig. 6.7) shows that a cosine-like (sine-like) trajectory in the vertical plane is fully out-coupled into the horizontal plane. Thus the skew quadrupole strengths are properly set. 146
