Latest Results on Beam Loaded Experiments at FLASH/TTF Shilun Pei October 27,
Introduction Experiments with heavy beam loading were done in September 17-20, Adaptive feed-forward and orbit feedback were not adopted, only feedback was used. And, all of the experiments were tuned manually with manual beam loading compensation. Beam loaded data with piezo on and off was collected. 3mA (1MHz/3nC) pulse currents for longer bunch trains of 800 bunches (800µs) can be ran successfully. 9mA (3MHz/3nC) pulse currents for shorter bunch trains of bunches ( µs) can be ran stably but with few bunch train cuts. 9mA (3MHz/3nC) pulse currents with bunch-trains of close to 2400 bunches (800µs) can be ran but with too many bunch train cuts.

2nd Forward Flat Top Jitter vs Charge Jitter September 2009 Measurement Red: 1MHz/3nC beam with piezo off; Blue: 3MHz/3nC beam with piezo off; Green: 3MHz/3nC beam with piezo on.
Summary With beam on and piezo on/off, the 1st forward flat top jitter stay at the same level as the no beam open loop case, but the 2nd forward flat top jitter will go to much higher value, especially for the piezo on case. Piezo will increase the 2nd forward flat top rf jitter. No matter the beam and the piezo on or off, the probe signal jitter will stay lower than 1%. In addition, with beam on, the jitter for the piezo on case may be lower than that for the piezo off case, which is different from the no beam open loop case and might be caused by the inappropriate initial detuning and the bigger reflection ratio (>30%). For both beam on and off case, the piezo works well to reduce the reflection ratio. Particularly for the beam on case, the piezo reduces the RF power overhead clearly. For the same beam current, the forward flat top jitter is roughly proportional to the bunch charge jitter.
