BEAM DIAGNOSTICS BY USING BUNCH-BY-BUNCH FEEDBACK SYSTEMS AT THE DELTA STORAGE RING

摘要

At the DELTA electron storage ring operated by the TU Dortmund University, longitudinal and transverse bunch-by-bunch feedback systems are in use to detect and suppress multi-bunch instabilities. Besides that, the digital feedback systems are excellent diagnostics tools. As an example, by exciting a certain number of bunches within the bunch train, the coupling to the non-excited bunches can be investigated below and above the instability threshold. Other examples include studies of the injection process and monitoring bunch oscillations during sudden beam loss. First experimental results are presented in this paper.
