| Abstract |
ISIS is the pulsed spallation neutron and muon source at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK. Operation centres on a rapid cycling proton synchrotron which accelerates 3·10¹³ protons per pulse (ppp) from 70 MeV to 800 MeV at 50 Hz, delivering a mean beam power of 0.2 MW. As a high intensity, loss-limited machine, research and development at ISIS is focused on understanding loss mechanisms with a view to improving operational performance and guiding possible upgrade routes. The head-tail instability observed on ISIS is of particular interest as it is currently a main limitation on beam intensity. Good models of impedance are essential for understanding instabilities and to this end, recent beam-based measurements of the effective transverse impedance of the ISIS synchrotron are presented. This paper also presents developments of a new, in-house code to simulate the head-tail instability observed and includes benchmarks against theory and comparisons with experimental results.
