In upgrading the present SOLEIL ring, it has been decided to introduce longitudinal bunch-by-bunch feedback (LFB) in addition to the already existing transverse feedback (TFB), because studies indicate that the new normal conducting fundamental RF cavities may excite longitudinal coupled-bunch instabilities (LCBI) due to their higher-order-modes (HOMs). SOLEIL II also plans to use...

Transverse emittance growth was observed during the long injection plateau for high-intensity multi-bunch LHC-type beams in the CERN SPS, showing a clear dependence on the working point. Transverse tunes were increased to reduce emittance growth driven by integer resonances; however, a residual increase in emittance persists. To characterize this behavior and investigate its possible causes,...
