Estimate of the impedance due to wall surface roughness

Conference ·
OSTI ID:527897

In the Next Linear Collider (NLC) after being accelerated the beam is collimated to remove tail particles. Wakefields generated in the collimator section, however, can significantly degrade the beam emittance. The collimators are, therefore, carefully designed to balance and minimize the effects of the geometric and the resistive wall wakefields. Recent measurements of collimator wakefields in the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC) linac seem to confirm the geometric wakefield calculations but yield results for the resistive wall wakefield that are 3-4 times as large as expected. One possibility is that this discrepancy is due to the roughness of the collimator surface. In this report we estimate this effect.
