Performance evaluation of PEP
An investigation of collective effects has been undertaken to assess the possibilities for using the low emittance operating mode of the PEP storage ring as a dedicated source of synchrotron radiation. Beam current limitations associated with longitudinal and transverse instabilities, and the expected emittance growth due to intrabeam scattering have been studied as a function of beam energy. Calculations of the beam lifetime due to Touschek and gas scattering are presented, and the growth times of coupled-bunch instabilities are estimated. In general, the results are encouraging, and no fundamental problems have been uncovered. It appears that beam currents up to about 10 mA per bunch should be achievable, and that the emittance growth is not a severe problem at an energy of about 8 GeV. A feedback system to deal with coupled-bunch instabilities is likely to be required. 7 refs., 13 figs.
