Abstract

An experiment was carried out in TRISTAN AR for the search of the fast beam-ion instability (FBII). A train of 100 bunches with 2 ns spacing was stored with the help of the transverse bunch feedback system. The nitrogen gas was intentionally leaked into the inside of the vacuum duct to enhance the ion effect. The oscillation patterns were recorded by the beam position monitor system which is capable of storing the transverse position of every bunch up to 1600 turns. The spectra of the bunch oscillations were also measured by a spectrum analyzer. This paper describes the results of the experiment and also discusses the possible explanation of them in terms of the FBII
