Title: Simulation of the Beam-Ion Instability in the Electron Damping Ring of the International Linear Collider

OSTI ID:909535

Ion induced beam instability is one critical issue for the electron damping ring of the International Linear Collider (ILC) due to its ultra small emittance of 2pm. Bunch train filling pattern is proposed to mitigate the instability and bunch-by-bunch feedback is applied to suppress it. Multibunch train fill pattern is introduced in the electron beam to reduce the number of trapped ions. Our study shows that the ion effects can be significantly mitigated by using multiple gaps. However, the beam can still suffer from the beam-ion instability driven by the accumulated ions that cannot escape from the beam during the gaps. The effects of beam fill pattern, emittance, vacuum and various damping mechanism are studied using self-consistent program, which includes the optics of the ring.
