Introduction• Several MDs performed (15-16 Sept. 2009, 3 Nov. 2009 & 22 July
2010) to measure the transverse coupled-bunch instability rise times with the 25ns LHC beam (one or several batches). The goal is to compare with multibunch HEADTAIL simulations (new code) using the SPS impedance model.
• Idea: after injection oscillations are damped, switch off the transverse damper for typically 10 ms and observe (with the LHC-BPM) the growth of an instability. Try for several values of the chromaticity.
• Here we present results on the last of these MD, where conditions were thought to be optimum: chromaticity and bunch length were measured on the same beam the same day, and LHC-BPM was fully functional.
• Transverse dampers timing:

Foreword: uncertainties• The instability rise times measured might well include
some electron cloud contribution. A way to prevent this would be to use the CNGS beam (5ns spacing, almost full machine filled), but it is more difficult to simulate.
• The rise times could also include contribution from single-bunch instabilities, in particular at negative chromaticities.
• The horizontal chromaticity measured on the MD of 22/07/2011 (the MD analyzed in the following slides) is subject to caution: if we believe it, only strongly negative chromaticity allow single batch instability, whereas in 2009 we observed instabilities even with slightly positive chromaticity.

→ Order of magnitude “ok” but dependence in chromaticity totally out.
→ Problem of chromaticity offset in measurement ? Or trapped modes change completely the impedance picture ? Or something else (e.g. bug in code, e-cloud or single-bunch in meas.) ?

→ Measurements show a clear decrease of rise time when going toward the tail of the train.
→ On the contrary, simulations give flat rise times (first bunch as fast unstable as last bunch).

Preliminary conclusions for horizontal instability
The instability seems to be coupled-bunch.
Positive tune shift is seen along the bunch train → could it be due to electron cloud ? Or to the negative quadrupolar impedance in x ?
First Headtail multibunch simulations with the beam pipe resistive-wall impedance give correct order of magnitude for the rise times but wrong chromaticity dependence and wrong behaviour along the bunch train.
Wrong offset in chromaticity in the measurements ?

Preliminary conclusions for vertical instability
The instability seems to be coupled-bunch.
No clear positive tune shift is seen along the bunch train.
First Headtail multibunch simulations with the beam pipe resistive-wall impedance give correct order of magnitude for the rise times, but wrong chromaticity dependence and maybe wrong behaviour along the bunch train.
in vertical it is less likely that there is a problem of offset in chromaticity in the measurements (comparing to other MDs)…

Future actions
Analyze in detail the rest of the data (same MD with three bunch trains + the two MDs of 2009).
Benchmark the new multibunch Headtail code with analytic formulae (e.g. Sacherer or Laclare) in simple cases, with dipolar impedances only.
Compare the role of single-bunch vs. coupled-bunch instability with the code, in particular for negative chromaticity.
Add other contributions to the impedance model (trapped modes, C magnets) and take into account all the “single-bunch oriented” impedance model in ZBASE (thanks to B. Salvant).
Maybe do other MDs (e.g. with CNGS beam).
