Detection of beam induced dipole-mode signals in the SLC S-band structures
Beam emittance dilution caused by wakefield effects is one of the important issues in the SLC linac. The detection of beam induced dipole mode signals in the C-band range could provide a direct measure of the strength of transverse wakefield kicks the beam experiences in the accelerating structures. The authors investigate the applicability of these microwave signals for the beam steering purposes. The RF distribution system in the linac sectors 2, 6 and 29 has been equipped with a simple experimental setup to observe the beam induced dipole mode signals. The paper discusses the setup, the mode-structure of the observed signals as well as experimental results from beam steering scans, obtained during the 95/96 SLC runs.
