Title: Summary report of the impedance and instability subgroup

Conference ·
OSTI ID:515624

This subgroup discussed several technical issues facing the BTCF (Beijing tau-charm factory). Most of these are R and D issues to be performed before a construction start. The two uncertainties facing the B-factories and the BTCF alike, namely the transient ion instability and the photo-electron instability are much weaker in the BTCF. Another uncertainty concerns the monochromator scheme, for which a round of parameters optimization is called for. The R and D issues can be collected into a long list. These discussions are by no means exhaustive, but are listed below as a summary of this report: (1) impedance policing is to be established; (2) single bunch instability is marginally acceptable; (3) beam-beam effects is to be considered together with microwave instability to optimize the overall design; (4) microwave power is a new issue which needs attention; (5) trapped modes need attention; (6) aluminum antechamber vacuum chamber design is recommended; (7) electrostatic separators need to be designed to minimize the microwave power generation; (8) dust particles need attention.
