Abstract

In the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR), which is operated with nine trains of five bunches, bunch lengthening results from the interaction of the bunch with the wake voltage induced at the hundred sliding joints along the ring. The decay time for the bunch induced voltage is longer than the time between bunches. Therefore the voltage witnessed by successive bunches will depend on both the resonance frequency of the sliding joint cavity and the arrival time of the bunches. In this paper we study the differences in the equilibrium bunch lengthening within the train and between trains due to the wakes induced in the sliding joints at two different resonance frequencies. One to achieve minimum power loss and the second to achieve minimum bunch lengthening
