FIG. 7.4: A coaxial 3-stub tuner used for Q-damping.<br />

duced significantly. For a long-term installation, care must be taken to insure only<br />

the dangerous dipole mode is affected, lest the stub tuner inadvertently modify the<br />

loaded Q of the accelerating mode, for example.<br />

7.1.3 Discussion<br />

Measurements have shown that methods to directly damp the loaded Q can<br />

increase the threshold by a factor of 3.3 and 1.6 using the damping circuit and 3-<br />

stub tuner, respectively, but can not completely stabilize the mode. If factors of<br />

a few are sufficient, then cavity-based feedback is an attractive alternative to the<br />

methods described in Chapter 6 because it does not interfere with the beam optics.<br />

Nevertheless, as with the beam optical suppression techniques, the cavity-based<br />

feedback systems only treat the symptoms, rather than the source, of the problem.<br />

Ultimately the cure for the problem is to provide strong HOM damping.<br />

7.2 Beam-based Feedback<br />

Another class of feedback systems is beam-based, which combines the major<br />

advantages of the beam optical suppression techniques and the cavity-based feedback
