the number of HOMs increases and/or better damping is obtained, the likelihood<br />
of overlapping modes increases and optical suppression techniques become less ef-<br />
fective. In fact, for large accelerators with many cryomodules, using these beam<br />
optical schemes in the presence of many HOMs can cause further destructive mode<br />
interference thus rendering these suppression techniques ineffective altogether.<br />
Recently, it has been proposed to fabricate elliptical RF cavities to deliberately<br />
break the cylindrical symmetry, thereby lifting the dipole HOM degeneracy and gen-<br />
erating a large frequency spread between the two polarizations [90]. Assuming the<br />
dipole modes are sufficiently separated in frequency from cavity to cavity, then using<br />
elliptical cavities in conjunction with coupled optical suppression techniques can be<br />
effective at increasing the threshold current in machines with many cryomodules<br />
[91].<br />
6.5 Summary<br />
Beam optical suppression techniques proved to be very effective at increasing<br />
the threshold current in the FEL Upgrade Driver. A summary of the various meth-<br />
ods and their effect on the 2106 MHz mode is displayed in Table 6.1.<br />
Using point-to-point focusing and the rotator, the 2106 MHz mode could be<br />
stabilized. However since point-to-point focusing cannot be arranged for each indi-<br />
vidual cavity in an accelerator with an extended linac, the usefulness of this method<br />

is restricted to smaller machines or machines where dangerous HOMs are well local-
