Abstract:
New damped cavities have been installed in the Photon Factory (PF) storage ring and successfully operated in the last scheduled user run of 1996. The new damped cavity is a simple single-cell cavity with somewhat large beam-duct holes. The part of the beam duct that is attached to the cavity is made of SiC, which works as a microwave absorber and damps the higher-order modes excited in the cavity. Because of its simple structure, the operation of the cavity is very stable and also a high power input of more than 150 kW is possible. No coupled-bunch instabilities due to the new cavity were observed during operation.

If, however, the bob is a slotted metal plate, the magnet produces a much smaller effect. When a slotted metal plate enters the field, an emf is induced by the change in flux; however, it is less effective because the slots limit the...
