Abstract :
The SLAC NLC design for a next-generation linear collider utilizes multibunching (acceleration of a train of bunches on each RF fill) to increase the luminosity and energy efficiency. It is necessary to control the energy spread of the beam, in order to minimize chromatic emittance dilution and be within the energy acceptance of the final focus. It is anticipated that the NLC may run with bunch trains having length equal to a substantial fraction of the filling time. Multibunch energy simulation methods and compensation schemes appropriate to this regime are presented
