Particle bunches traveling in a ring can excite wakefields inside any radio-frequency (rf) element present. These electromagnetic modes can resonate long enough and interact with subsequent passing bunches. A coherent oscillation between bunches can quickly become an instability and needs to be addressed. The Jefferson Lab Electron-Ion Collider (JLEIC) has a large 50 mrad crossing angle and thus relies on bunch crabbing to achieve high luminosity. Bunch crabbing is done with compact superconducting rf dipole cavities. We study coupled bunch oscillations driven by the higher order modes (HOM) of multi-cell rf dipole (rfd) crab cavities under study for JLEIC, we calculate the instability growth time assuming a symmetric beam frequency spectrum, identify the HOM driving the instability and discuss mitigation measures.
