Effects of reflections on TE-wave measurements of electron cloud density

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

The TE-wave transmission technique is a method for measuring the electron cloud (EC) density in an accelerator beam pipe. It involves transmitting an RF signal through the pipe and detecting the intensity of the phase modulation caused by the fluctuating EC density. Using physical and simulated data, the experiments described in this paper explore the effects of reflections on the phase advance of TE-waves. It is shown that introducing reflections to a waveguide can significantly distort phase measurements in some cases.
