SummarySummary• The approach at CESR

– Radiation damping means they can kick hard– Look off resonance

• The approach at RHIC – Excitation power is limited by emittance growth– Excite ‘on resonance’ to enhance the coupling

• Results– We observed anti-correlation between ZDC’s and BBTF!

• This is not understood, no obvious cause

– Higher excitation levels caused emittance growth– No plan to further pursue on-resonance excitation

• Future request– 2 hours in 2 weeks to study off-resonance excitation

The APEX procedure as The APEX procedure as originally conceivedoriginally conceived

• Take swept BBTF to find zero phase• Lock BBQ thru the continuous BBTF• Do vernier scan• Compare amplitude of BBTF and vernier scan results

• This can be done parasitically early in the run, to get preliminary results?

The APEX procedure as doneThe APEX procedure as done

• Concern with effects of phase shifts due to beam-beam corrupting the ‘tune-tracking’ approach

• Solution was– Excite beam in one ring with white noise – more robust, does not require locking BBQ to

beam– Do vernier scan– Record data with BTM DAQ for offline analysis– Initial offline analysis is spectral power within a specified tune window
