Abstract :
Beam echo measurements provide a sensitive way to obtain the diffusion rate in storage rings. Often intrabeam scattering is the dominant diffusion mechanism degrading a beam. The analytical formalism of beam echoes will be reviewed, followed by a summary of current experimental data and their analysis. A specific case study of scattering rates below transition in the Fermilab antiproton storage ring will be presented
