Abstract :
A versatile, broad frequency range, RF cavity mode damper has been described in a previous paper (W.R. Smythe et al., 1990). A mode damper of this type has been designed, constructed, installed, and tested on an existing 50-MHz synchrotron cavity. Measurements on the combined system have been completed, affording a comparison of analytical predictions with actual performance. The results of the measurements confirm the predicted efficacy of the mode damper up to 1000 MHz.<>
