Head-tail instability at Tevatron

Conference ·
OSTI ID:811200
Tevatron performance suffers from a coherent transverse instability. Experimental studies and theoretical examination allow identifying the instability as a weak head-tail, driven by the short-range wake fields in presence of the space charge. Growth rates and coherent tune shifts are measured at injection of single high-intensity proton bunches using a fast strip-line pickup. Landau damping through the octupole-generated betatron tune spread for all of unstable head-tail modes has been demonstrated.
