Abstract:We present an account of our efforts to understand unexpected observations in the course of performing measurements of the longitudinal beam transfer function.As the amplitude of the excitation was increased, we observed a notch in the middle of the peak amplitude response of the transfer function. Our observations are explained by a bifurcation in the amplitude due to the nonlinearity of the oscillations, demonstrated by measurements of the longitudinal bunch profile using a streak camera.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
