Beam stability is conventionally described by means of the stability diagram, which is a threshold line in a complex plane of a particular intensity parameter, the coherent tune shift; the diagram separates stable and unstable states. The incoherent tune spread of the beam particles normally causes the transverse stability diagram to be an asymmetric bell-shaped curve above the real axis; for a given optical nonlinearity, the diagram is determined by the beam distribution function only. Recently, such a diagram was measured by means of an antidamper, see S. Antipov et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 126, 164801 (2021). Such measurements open the door to a new method of beam diagnostics, finding the beam phase space density as a solution of an inverse stability problem. The main idea, methods of its implementation, possible obstacles and optimizations are discussed.

TUA1I2 New Understanding of Longitudinal Beam Instabilities and Comparison with Measurements 45

  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.
