rf amplitude modulation to suppress longitudinal coupled bunch instabilities in the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron

Without specific counter measures, the LHC type beam in the SPS suffers from longitudinal coupled bunch instabilities. To prevent them, the SPS impedance has been decreased over the last few years and the operation of a high frequency Landau damping system has been established. In the absence of thi...
