Fast beam-ion instability driven longitudinal damping

In the Pohang Light Source storage ring, we empty 68 buckets of total 468 buckets to cure the conventional ion trapping. However, the fast beam-ion instability is occasionally generated at higher beam current. Immediately after the strong vertical beam shaking due to the fast beam-ion instability, the longitudinal coupled bunch mode instabilities are substantially damped down without any active feedback system. We have described the fast beam-ion instability driven longitudinal damping and its mechanism in the Pohang Light Source storage ring.
