Measurement of Stability Diagram at IOTA at Fermilab

Conference · · JACoW
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.
