FIG. 7.8: Threshold current versus the feedback time delay. As the time delay gets longer<br />

the maximum achievable threshold decreases according to a power law (see Fig. 7.9).<br />

Black circles mark the highest threshold current for each period of the oscillation.<br />

possible by implementing a bunch-by-bunch feedback system scales as t −0.93<br />

d .<br />

Figure 7.10 shows the threshold current as a function of the feedback gain for<br />

several different values of time delay. The values of td were chosen such that they<br />

correspond to the maximum achievable threshold current (i.e. the black markers<br />

in Fig. 7.8). In the region for which the analytic model is valid (g < 0.35) the<br />

simulations show excellent agreement, save for the case of the longest time delay<br />

(423 µs) where the perturbative treatment of the problem begins to fail.<br />

From a practical point of view, for td < 423 µs and for g = 1, the threshold cur-<br />

rent can be increased with a feedback system. Not surprisingly, the best suppression<br />

occurs when td = 0 and the feedback is truly on a bunch by bunch basis. To achieve<br />

an order of magnitude increase in the threshold current, from 2.1 mA to 21 mA,<br />

requires a feedback time delay of less than 30 µs. Conversely, for delays greater<br />

176<br />

than 423 µs, the threshold current becomes completely ineffective, independent of
