Beam-based feedback systems were a key element in the successful operation of the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC) but the performance was not optimal. Some limitations were incomplete communication between the feedback loops, slow correctors, and constraints on the placement of feedback devices. Recent beam experiments and simulations have improved understanding of feedback performance characteristics, and increased confidence in designing feedback systems for the Next Linear Collider (NLC).
