identified, although the phase delay chicane and/or steering errors may have con-<br />

tributed. The dispersion was never fully suppressed and this may have led to the<br />

spurious results in arc 2. Recall that the emittance measurement explicitly assumes<br />

zero dispersion. Moreover, measuring the emittance in arc 2 was difficult even with<br />

zero dispersion (as was the case for the 20 MeV setup), due to the close proximity of<br />

the wire scanner to the 2E02 quadrupole used for generating multiple optics. With<br />

the wire scanner only 1 m downstream of the scanning quadrupole, the optics could<br />

not be changed sufficiently for a good measurement (analogous to not sweeping<br />

through a minimum of the beam size for the single quadrupole scanning method).<br />

These two conditions working together may account for the spurious data.<br />

Even when the arc 2 measurement is disregarded, the measurements show that<br />

the normalized emittance grows as it is transported through the machine. Possible<br />

sources of the emittance growth can be traced back to the SRF induced effects<br />

discussed in Section 2.2.3.<br />

Simulations using the present RF feed configuration in CEBAF show that a<br />

single pass through the machine could cause the projected horizontal normalized<br />

emittance to grow by up to 1 mm-mrad due solely to the effects of the dipole<br />

mode driven head-tail steering. Fields also exist which cause growth of the vertical<br />

emittance, however the effect is small in comparison.<br />

Simulations were also performed with DIMAD [44] in an effort to understand<br />

the role of the HOM coupler induced transverse coupling in the observed emittance<br />

growth. The simulation modeled the coupling by introducing a thin skew quadrupole<br />

element at the location of each cavity’s HOM coupler. Results of the simulation<br />

showed the horizontal normalized emittance exhibiting growth of 0.5 mm-mrad but<br />

failed to explain the observed behavior of the vertical emittance in Table 2.1 and<br />

Table 2.2.<br />

Ultimately, a simulation that incorporates the dipole steering of the FPC and<br />
