In 2004 BBU developed in the FEL Upgrade Driver and represents the first observations of the instability in an energy recovering linac. Beam breakup is well understood from a theoretical point of view and now, as result of the work presented in this dissertation, from an experimental point of view. The primary contribution is the successful benchmarking of BBU simulation codes with experimental data with agreement to within 10%. These codes are a valuable tool whose results dictate many of the most important parameters in the design of future high average current ERLs, such as HOM damping requirements of the SRF cavities and the means by which it is achieved and the choice of machine optics. With a number of design proposals for ERL drivers on the horizon, it is vitally important that the BBU codes can be applied with confidence. In the process of benchmarking the codes, several important auxiliary contri- butions were made. First, the validity of the analytic model used to describe BBU has been demonstrated in small machines where HOM frequencies do not overlap. In particular, the threshold current formula for a single cavity containing a single mode, if applied correctly, has been proven to describe BBU with a high degree of accuracy. Secondly, several important experimental techniques were introduced and applied to BBU-related measurements. 181 To adequately benchmark the codes, as many of the input parameters as possi-
le were experimentally measured. Due to the nature of BBU - that it involves the properties of the beam (average current and energy), the machine lattice (transfer matrices) and the properties of the HOMs (frequency, QL, (R/Q) and polarization) - a number of different measurements were required. There also is the necessity for techniques to accurately measure the threshold current. The beam transfer func- tion measurement has been used for many decades and has now been successfully applied, along with measuring the HOM growth rates, to measure the threshold current. It is important to keep in mind that BBU work reported in this dissertation addresses a specific regime; namely, a machine with only a few very high Q dipole modes which are localized in a single cryomodule in a relatively compact machine. Furthermore, in frequency space, the modes are well separated so that for decoupled optics, coupling between modes is not an issue. Because of these characteristics, all of the suppression techniques implemented were, to varying degrees, successful at increasing the threshold current for stability. Three different beam optical suppression techniques were implemented; point- to-point focusing, a rotator and a local reflector. The first two were able to suppress BBU due to the 2106 MHz mode completely, while the local reflector increased the threshold by a factor of 5.1. The latter two techniques are notable in that they required the introduction of strong transverse coupling in the electron beam optics. Additionally, two different cavity-based feedback systems were developed and proved to be successful at increasing the threshold current by factors of a few. Finally, some initial studies of the feasibility of a beam-based feedback system for an ERL were presented. Such a beam-based system incorporates the advantages of both beam optical control and cavity-based feedback methods of suppression. In addition to showing the validity of a modified threshold current formula to include 182 feedback, simulation results also explored the behavior of the BBU threshold current
