Zimmermann, F

In the 1994/95 SLC run, bunch lengthening in the damping ring along with overcompression in the two ring-to-linac transport lines (RTLs) have caused a normal beam loss of about 10-20% between entrance and end of the RTLs, which constitutes a major hindrance to further luminosity increases of the SLC. This paper summarizes studies of both longitudinal and six-dimensional dynamics in the RTL, and compares simulation results with measurements. Quadratic dependence of path length on energy and higher-order multipoles in the RTL quadrupoles are shown to affect the compressor performance. Minor optics changes are suggested which may improve the transmission efficiency.
