  Beam instabilities driven by broad- and narrowband impedance sources have been treated separately so far. In this contribution, we present the generalised beam stability analysis based on the concept of van Kampen modes. In the presence of broadband impedance, the loss of Landau damping (LLD) in the longitudinal plane can occur above a certain single-bunch intensity. For significantly higher intensities, the broad-band impedance can drive violent radial or azimuthal mode-coupling instabilities. We have shown that the synchrotron frequency spread due to RF field non-linearity, counter-intuitively, reduces the single-bunch instability threshold. We have also demonstrated that a multi-bunch instability driven by a narrow-band impedance source can be significantly affected by LLD when adding broad-band impedance. These findings are supported by macroparticle simulations and beam observations in the Super Proton Synchrotron and the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

  In the context of the half-integer studies an investigation of the dynamics of the kicked beam has revealed surprising properties. The coupling of space charge with chromatic- ity in addition to usual damping/non-damping dynamics, exhibits new properties typical of a linear coupling. This proceeding covers the status of these studies carried out with analytical and numerical approaches and the prelimi- nary results of experimental investigations in the CERN PS Booster.

Nonlinear focusing elements can enhance the stability of particle beams in high-energy colliders by means of Landau Damping, through the tune spread which is introduced. We propose an experiment at Fermilab’s Integrable Optics Test Accelerator (IOTA) to investigate the influence of nonlinear focusing elements on the transverse stability of the beam. In this experiment, we employ an anti-damper, an active transverse feedback system, as a controlled mechanism to induce coherent beam instability. By utilizing the anti-damper, we can examine the impact of the nonlinear focusing element on the beam’s transverse stability. The stability diagram, a tool used to determine the system’s stability, will be measured using a recently demonstrated method at the LHC. This measurement is carried out experimentally by selecting specific threshold gains and measuring them for a range of phases. The stability diagram is represented by gei¿ on the complex plane. The experiment at IOTA adds insight towards the stability diagram measurement method by supplying a reduced machine impedance, to investigate the impedance’s effect on the stability diagram, as well as a larger range of phase measurements.

THBP12 Slow vs Fast Landau Damping Threshold Measurement at the LHC and Implications for the HL-LHC octupole, experiment, simulation, emittance 470

  The mechanism of Loss of Landau Damping by Diffusion (L2D2) was observed in dedicated experiments at the LHC using a controlled external source of noise. Nevertheless, the predictions of stability threshold by L2D2 models are plagued by the poor knowledge of the natural noise floor affecting the LHC beams. Experimental measurements of the stability threshold on slow and fast time scales are used to better constrain the model. The improved model is then used to quantify requirements in terms of Landau damping for the HL-LHC.

  Modelling the longitudinal impedance for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been a long-standing effort, especially in view of its High-Luminosity (HL) upgrade. The resulting impedance model is an essential input for beam dynamics studies. Increased beam intensities in the HL-LHC era will pose new challenges like RF power limitations, beam losses at injection and coupled-bunch instabilities throughout the acceleration cycle. Starting from the existing longitudinal impedance model, effort has been made to identify the main contributing devices and improve their modelling. Loss of Landau damping (LLD) simulations are performed to investigate the dependence of the stability threshold on the completeness of the impedance model and its broad-band cut-off frequency. Plans to perform beam measurements to estimate the cut-off frequency, by investigating the LLD threshold in operation, are also discussed.

THBP42 Longitudinal Loss of Landau Damping in Double Harmonic RF Systems below Transition Energy synchrotron, impedance, space-charge, proton 575

  Landau damping plays a crucial role in ensuring single-bunch stability in hadron synchrotrons. In the longitudinal plane, loss of Landau damping (LLD) occurs when a coherent mode of oscillation moves out of the incoherent synchrotron frequency band. The LLD threshold is studied for a purely inductive impedance below transition energy, specifically considering the common case of double harmonic RF systems operating in counter-phase at the bunch position. The additional focusing force due to beam-induced voltage distorts the potential well, ultimately collapsing the bucket. The limiting conditions for a binomial particle distribution are calculated. Furthermore, the contribution focuses on the configuration of the higher-harmonic RF system at four times the fundamental RF frequency operating in phase. In this case, the LLD threshold shows a non-monotonic behavior with a zero threshold where the derivative of the synchrotron frequency distribution is positive. The findings are obtained employing semi-analytical calculations using the MELODY code.
