Abstract :
The peak intensity of the PSR is limited by a fast transverse instability. In 1996 we started a project to upgrade the PSR to 200 μA at 30 Hz, which requires operation above the instability threshold achieved with our present RF system. We have, therefore, resumed our experimental program to understand and control the instability. In this paper we will present our latest data
