Wakefields and collective effects
To have high luminosity in colliders and high brilliance in synchrotron light sources, storage rings operate with high circulating currents.
The bunches are intense and short ≤ 1 cm. They can generate a strong e.m. field as they travel down the vacuum pipe.
The electric fields generated by a bunch act back on the bunch itself or on subsequent bunches via the chamber (wakefields), giving rise to current dependent collective phenomena (collective effects).

Collective effectsCollective effects
Main issues
• wakefields interact with the stored beam• RF heating of the vacuum chamber components
The beam can become unstable
beam loss: sudden partial or total loss of the beamsaturated injection: difficulty accumulating and storing beam
and/or its properties are compromised
beam oscillationsemittance blow upIncrease effective emittance (via transverse or longitudinal jitter)
Increased bunch length and energy spreadJitter in arrival times of bunches
These reduce the luminosity of a collider and the brilliance of a light source

Examples of wakefieldsThe trailing electric field is termed a wake field. Discontinuities along the vacuum chamber and finite resistivity of the vacuum chamber walls are the main sources for the generation of wake fields in colliders or light sources
Small discontinuities in the chamber act like cavities, where the electron bunch can deposit energy in the form of e.m. fields (the wakefields)
The trapped fields can have a long decay time. The energy goes into the heating of the chamber and the em fields are sensed by following bunches over many turns

Collective effects: examples
Some instabilities increase gradually with increasing current whilst others have sharp thresholds. Instabilities are of two types, transverse and longitudinal, for both single and multi-bunch filling of the ring

Diamond will operate with short electron bunches for generation of Coherent synchrotron radiation (in the THz region)
This operating regime is severely limited by the onset of the microbunch instabilities.
Sub-THz radiation bursts appeared periodically while the beam was circulating in the ring

Short range and long range wakefields
Broad band parasitic lossesThese wake fields decay quickly, with a time scale of less than one turn. These fields are produced by:
• vacuum chamber transitions (bellows, tapers, flanges, insertion devices)• vacuum ports• beam position monitors, strip lines• fluorescent screens• injection elements (kickers and their vacuum chamber)
The fields affect charges in the same bunch leading to single bunch instabilities, i.e. electrons at the head of the bunch act on the tail (microwave instability (L), head-tail instabilities (H/V))
Narrow band parasitic lossesThese wake fields ring for a long time affecting the same bunch or another for many turns. The fields are produced by cavity like objects.
Multi-bunch instabilities (H/V) arise from such fields.

Computation of Wakefields (I)In its full generality, the computation of the wakefields generated by a bunch of charged particles is a very complex electromagnetic problem.
It requires the solution of the Maxwell’s equations with given source terms and boundary conditions imposed by the vacuum chamber
It is a 3D, time dependent problem that should be solved self consistently, i.e. the equation of the e.m. field are coupled to the equation of motion of the charged particles, so that the driving terms (charge and current densities) are also changing with time.
PIC codes runs, for complex EM problems, may take many weeks of CPU time !!! Finite elements codes also require an intensive computational effort despite some simplifying approximations customarily used to deal with this problem:
• the wakefields are computed assuming that the bunch distribution does not change under the action of the wakefields themselves in the structure
• the charge particle beam is assumed to be ultra-relativistic (v ~ c)
• the net effect of the wakefield on each particle is assumed to be small and is computed with the momentum transfer of the particle in the structure
• where possible, symmetric geometry allows the simplification of the problem.
11/32
Computation of wakefields (II)The electromagnetic field generated by the leading particle with charge q1 is computed at a distance Δz where the trailing particle of charge q is located.
The distance Δz is usually considered fixed in the computation of the wakefield. This helps simplifying considerably the task
)t;z,r,z,r(Bv)t;z,r,z,r(Eq)t;z,r,z,r(F 111111
q1 is the leading particle
q is the trailing particle
Δz = z1 – z distance
The force acting on the trailing particle is given by the Lorentz force
E and B are the electric and magnetic field generated by q1 in the structure

The variation of the momentum and the energy of the trailing particle is computed assuming that these deviations in energy and momentum are small
and
the motion of the trailing particle remains uniform, the relative distance does not change as long as the two charged particles travel within the structure C where the wakefields are generated.
Integrating the expression for the Lorentz force sensed by the trailing particle as it travels along the structure C, we get the momentum variation
and the energy variation

Wakefields and wake functions (II)
The wake function w|| describes the total energy lost by the test particle q generated by a single point-like charge q1 and therefore is the Green function for the problem: the energy lost by a test particle with charge q due to a collection charge Q = eNp described by a longitudinal charge density ρ is given by the convolution
'dz)'zz(w)'z(eqN)z,r,z,r(W p11
where Np is the total number of particle of charge e in the bunch.
Similarly for the transverse planes we can define
The longitudinal wake function is the energy variation per unit charge q and q1

transverse coupling impedance
i.e. the effect of the wakefield depends on the product of the coupling impedance times the Fourier transform of the bunch distribution (the bunch spectrum).
Analogous formulae hold for the transverse plane.

Impedance of an acceleratorThe impedance is a function of frequency and its spectrum depends on the accelerator components
At low frequencies it is dominated by the resistive wall impedance. High Q resonators (cavities) show up as sharp peaks, and the overall impedance made up of the various components in the ring gives the broadband contribution.
At frequencies beyond the cutoff frequency, the wake field propagates freely along the chamber. This is reflected by the roll-off of the broadband contribution. The cut-off frequency is given by ωc = c/b, b is the chamber radius.
Overlap of the bunch spectrum with the impedance of the machine generate instabilities
R. Bartolini, John Adams Institute, 9 May 2013

Resonators and broad band impedance (I)
Each mode resembles an RLC - circuit and can, to a good approximation, be treated as such. This circuit has a shunt impedance R, inductance L and capacity C. It can drive multi-bunch instabilities.
In a real cavity these parameters cannot easily be separated and we use others which can be measured directly: The resonance frequency ωr, the quality factor Q and the damping rate α:

There is a strong analogy between wakefields and electronic circuit theories. This can be exploited and wakes can be represented by equivalent circuits.
For example, the impedance of a parallel RLC circuit is often associated to the impedance of the so-called high order modes (HOM), single resonance wakes in the vacuum chamber.

Using this RLC model the HOMs can be classified in two main categories.
Narrow-band impedances. These modes are characterized by relatively high Q and their spectrum is narrow. The associated wake last for a relatively long time making this modes important for multibunch instabilities.
Broad-band impedances. These modes are characterized by a low Q and their spectrum is broader. The associated wake last for a relatively short time making this modes important only for single bunch instabilities.

The total wakefield is given by the sum of the wakes of each individual item The total wakefield can be approximated as the sum of the wakefields of
many RLC resonators which best fit the total impedance
Next improvement is to use directly the MAFIA outputs as input in the tracking code.
