Description
We present a systematic multi-bunch longitudinal beam dynamics study for the Elettra 2.0 storage ring [1] equipped with a double RF system (main RF cavity plus passive third-harmonic cavity). The higher-order modes (HOMs) of the main RF cavity, obtained from 3D eigenmode simulations, are used as input to coupled-bunch instability models [2]. For these HOMs, we compute growth rates using a simple harmonic-oscillator (SHO) model and an extended model including the nonlinear double-RF potential and Landau damping (HHC) [3], and determine the HOM detuning required to bring all growth rates below the damping capability of the longitudinal feedback. The analytical predictions are benchmarked against multi-bunch tracking in Elegant [4]. In parallel, we optimise the double-RF parameters for both uniform and non-uniform fillings using mbtrack2 [5,6] tracking with the ALBuMS (Algorithm for Longitudinal Multibunch Beam Stability) algorithm [7]. For the operational main-cavity detuning, we identify narrow third-harmonic cavity detuning windows that avoid Robinson-type and periodic transient beam loading (PTBL) instabilities while providing near-flat RF potentials, bunch-lengthening factors up to 4.4 and lifetime improvements up to 3–4. These results define a robust working point for the Elettra 2.0 double-RF system.
