FIG. 6.10: Nominal betatron functions in the 4F region of the FEL (top) and with a<br />

solenoid (blue) activated to produce a 90 ◦ rotation of betatron planes with the upstream<br />

and downstream quadrupole triplets used for matching (bottom). Horizontal betatron<br />

functions are denoted in red and vertical in blue.<br />

but also at a node in position.<br />

6.4.2 Measured Effect on the Threshold Current<br />

Having generated a recirculation matrix that describes a rotation, the usual pro-<br />

cedure is followed of comparing the extrapolated threshold current from the BTF<br />

measurement to the nominal beam optics. The result of the measurement for the<br />

2106 MHz mode with the rotator activated indicates that the mode is stabilized. In<br />

Fig. 6.11 the slope of the line that fits the inverse of the effective Q versus beam<br />

current data is positive. Extrapolating the line until it crosses the current axis, one<br />

concludes that the threshold current is −17.0 mA. This result once again demon-<br />

strates the attractiveness of the BTF measurement, by allowing one to determine<br />

whether the system is in the pseudo-stable regime or unstable while working at low<br />

average currents.<br />
