HOM Mitigation
Nicoleta Baboi
Abstract
Higher Order Modes (HOMs) in accelerating structures are resonant electromagnetic fields excited and left behind by charged particle bunches. They can severely degrade the beam quality in accelerators, such as the multi-bunch energy spread and transverse emittance, and therefore one must carefully study and mitigate them. In this lecture, various methods of HOM mitigation are reviewed. On one hand, one tries to avoid their existence, for example by careful design of the accelerating structures and damping systems. On the other hand, one can reduce the effect of the excited HOM fields, for example by means of fast feedbacks or beam alignment. Additionally, a few ways to make HOM signals useful are referred to, such as diagnostics of the beam or of accelerating structures.
