Abstract
The static Robinson instability and associated coherent synchrotron frequencies were systematically studied at the Photon Factory (PF) 2.5-GeV storage ring at KEK. Under machine parameters close to an anticipated Robinson limit, we observed beam dumps at which the beam and related signals were recorded. The evolution of the beam phase and the threshold condition at the beam dumps were consistent with theoretical values calculated based on the uniformly filled point-bunch model. However, we found remarkable discrepancies from theoretical predictions with additional coherent-frequency measurements. Under conditions close to the Robinson limit, we observed an unpredicted sharp peak at a frequency of approximately 5.2 kHz, together with discrepancies in both the frequency and damping rate of the coherent oscillation. These results indicate the importance of further experimental and theoretical studies on the static Robinson instability.12 MoreReceived 15 November 2022Accepted 13 March 2023DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevAccelBeams.26.044401Published by the American Physical Society under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license.
