FIG. 6.11: A plot of 1/Qeff versus average beam current for the 2106 MHz mode with<br />

the rotator activated. The best fit line is used to determine that the mode is stabilized.<br />

Only a limited number of data points were measured because the machine<br />

configuration proved to be extremely sensitive to beam loss in the recirculator.<br />

Despite the lack of data, it is clear that a perfect 90 ◦ rotation was not achieved. In<br />

the case of a true 90 ◦ rotation, the effective Q would remain constant as the average<br />

beam current is varied.<br />

6.4.3 Simulations of Coupled Optics Suppression Techniques<br />

Simulations using the ERLBBU code were performed to investigate the rela-<br />

tionship between the threshold current, the number of dipole HOMs per cavity and<br />

the HOM polarization for three different optics in the FEL Driver. The first set<br />

of optics is the nominal 88 MeV decoupled optics. The remaining two optics are<br />

a local reflector and a 90 ◦ rotation. The motivation for the study is: (1) to see if<br />

better BBU suppression with coupled optics can be achieved by varying the HOM
