AW ANALOG METHOD FOR MEASURING THE LONGITUDINAL COUPLING IMPEDANCE OF A RELATIVISTIC PARTICLE BEAM WITH ITS ENVIRONMNET
The stability of a coasting beam against self-bunching (negative mass instability) may be expressed in terms of a beam coupling impedance. The impedance has contributions from self-fields, wall impedance, and curvature effects. This paper describes procedures for measuring the wall and curvature contributions to the coupling impedance by means of an analog in which the beam is replaced by a conductor propagating a TEM-like mode. Conditions are derived under which the measurements are valid, various measurement procedures are described and results of the application of the method to the compressor of an electron ring accelerator are reported.
