Dedicated, high intensity beam experiments have been performed.• 8.41013 ppp (13.5 uC) of bunched beam have been accumulated.• 9.51013 ppp (16 uC) of coasting beam have been accumulated.
For these experiments, we have varied parameters:• Chopped or coasting• RF on or off• beam intensity• chromaticity (natural or corrected) • lattice tunes

High Intensity Beam Studies
For the nominal neutron production conditions, no instabilities have been observed so far. None were predicted.
Electron-proton instability for Coasting Beam
• Most of the experiments performed for coasting beam configuration • Instability observed beginning at >21013 ppp.• Instability is observed in both planes – vertical stronger. • No instability is observed at natural chromaticity.

Frequency spectrum is more sharply peaked at higher intensity.

We have seen 3 types of instabilities in SNS ring. e-P has largest impedance, by far (over 3 times larger for 16 uC case).

Instability for a chopped beam with no RF
In the latest set of high intensity experiments, 8.51013 ppp of chopped beam accumulated with no RF on.
Gap is mostly full by extraction. Some structure remains.
BCM signal at extraction
e-P instability is observed in both planes (vertical BPM signal shown at right):

Instability occurs at flat top, closer to front of the beam, and moves backwards.

For the chopped beam with no RF, in frequency space the excitation bands drift downwards. The instability starts before end of beam accumulation.
Frequency Content of Chopped Beam Instability
e-P Simulations with ORBIT code
The parallel ORBIT electron-cloud:
Includes the interactions of electron cloud and proton beam in both directions (electrons act on protons and protons act on electrons).
Describes the electron cloud build up and includes a secondary emission surface model (Furman and Pivi model).
Uses PIC method for space charge for both proton and electron beam.
Uses 3D space charge for the proton beam Allows an arbitrary number of localized electron cloud in the ring, up to the limiting computational ability of the parallel system. Allows e-cloud nodes in magnets.
Model has been benchmarked with analytic model (Y. Sato) and PSR experimental data (A. Shishlo)
Simulation of Chopped Beam Case
We performed simulations of the chopped beam case.
Simulations done in two stages:
Computational statistics:- 6106 proton macroparticles- 10,000 – 30,000 electron macroparticles per electron node- 60 CPUs, 80 GFlops for 24 hours.
Computational statistics:- 6106 proton macroparticles- 10,000 – 30,000 electron macroparticles per electron node- 60 CPUs, 80 GFlops for 24 hours.
Stage 1Accumulate distribution.No ECloud nodes. Do it once only.
Stage 2Store distribution, insert ECloud nodes. Do multiple runs, varying e-node parameters.
Stage 2 parameters varied: Number of e-Cloud nodes in the ring (<= 4 for computational expense). Location of e-Cloud nodes Type of initial electron cloud (surface or volume) Proton loss rate (how electrons are ejected)
Simulations by A. Shishlo
Simulations of chopped beam with No RF
Observations:
Instability seen right at the beginning of storage. Frequency content of instability is fairly narrow, possibly because of localized e-Cloud nodes.
Case parameters:
• 2 electron cloud nodes: one in drift, one in dipole.
• Proton loss rate: 110-4 protons per meter.
• SEM parameters: TiN, 100 electrons per proton.
• Did not have good knowledge of energy distribution in beam, or evolution of beam in gap.
Comparison of simulation and measurement – real space
The longitudinal location of strongest instability is roughly the same between simulation and measurement. Both show migration toward tails.

Frequency comparison of simulation with measurement
We see narrower excitation frequency in the simulation: 20 – 65 MHz.
Excitation frequency content and extent is likely due the position and localization of the two ECloud nodes.
We see the same drift of excitation bands to lower frequency in both simulation and experiment.

We see huge beam loss in experiment, but almost no beam loss in simulation.

Electron cloud density
• In the simulation, complete neutralization of the beam in the gap occurs. • Unfortunately, no electron collectors were available in the experiment to measure e-cloud.
Summary
We have accumulated up to 8.41013 ppp of bunched beam, and 9.51013 ppp of coasting beam.
No instabilities are seen for bunched beam, or for natural chromaticity beam.
We see e-p instability for coasting beam and chopped beam cases with no RF
Simulations of the chopped beam show reasonable agreement with experiment, though some differences exist.
More accuracy in simulation might be gained by adding more e-cloud nodes, and having better knowledge of beam energy spread.
