FIG. 7.1: A schematic of the feedback circuit used to damp the loaded Q of a mode.<br />

with the damping circuit off by direct observation. When the beam was turned on,<br />

the BBU threshold was determined by the BTF method with the results shown in<br />

Fig. 7.3. The threshold current became (7.6 ± 0.2) mA.<br />

7.1.2 Passive Q-damping with a Stub Tuner<br />

A 3-stub tuner acts as an impedance transformer and is shown in Fig. 7.4. A<br />

stub tuner was attached to each cable connected to the two HOM ports of cavity 7.<br />

A schematic of the setup is illustrated in Fig. 7.5. The idea is to manipulate the<br />

stubs in such a fashion that the incident HOM voltage is reflected with a 180 ◦ phase<br />

shift. Because the stub tuner is a passive device, the attenuation in the cables from<br />

the HOM ports becomes a factor and prevented optimal Q-damping. Nevertheless,<br />

a modest decrease (a factor of 1.6) in the QL of the 2106 MHz mode and the<br />

corresponding increase in the threshold current were observed.<br />

In principle, better suppression could be attained by connecting the stub tuner<br />

164<br />

in the FEL vault, closer to the cryomodule, where cable attenuation would be re-
