The “impedance” limits the performance of all the particle accelerators where the beam intensity (or beam brightness) is pushed, leading to beam instabilities and subsequent increased beam size and beam losses, and/or excessive (beam-induced RF) heating, which can deform or melt components or generate beam dumps. Each equipment of each accelerator has an impedance, which needs to be characterised and optimised. This impedance is usually estimated through theoretical analyses and/or numerical simulations before being measured through bench and/or beam-based measurements. Combining the impedances of all the equipment, a reliable impedance model of a machine can be built, which is a necessary step to be able to understand better the machine performance limitations, reduce the impedance of the main contributors and study the interplay with other mechanisms such as optics non-linearities, transverse damper, noise, space charge, electron cloud, beam-beam (in a collider), etc.Downloads
