Abstract:
An experiment has been carried out at the TESLA Test Facility linac to investigate the wake fields generated by picosecond electron bunches in narrow beam pipes with an artificially roughened inner surface. The energy structure imposed on the bunches by the wake fields has been analyzed with a magnetic spectrometer. Strong harmonic-wake-field effects are observed as expected from simulations in which the rough surface is modeled by a dielectric layer.
