KEK, Ibaraki
Two methods were investigated to study microwave instability in LER of KEKB and SuperKEKB. One is macroparticle tracking code based on PIC. The other one solves the VFP equation directly. First we compare the two methods using a resonator impedance model of KEKB LER. Then we use the calculated impedance including CSR to study the beam instability of LER of KEKB and SuperKEKB. Convergence properties of these two methods due to numerical noise are discussed.
