Abstract Based on the single bunch transverse instability theory established by Gao (Nucl. Instr. and Meth. A 416 (1998) 186), it is shown that the functional relation between the instability threshold bunch current and the chromaticity of the machine is Ith pxdc ; with dE1:3 and dE2:3 at potential well and microwave instability dominated bunch lengthening regimes, respectively. These scaling laws are confirmed by the experimental results from ESRF. r 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Single bunch transverse instabilities in electron storage rings behave differently with respect to different values of chromaticity, xc [2,3]. When the chromaticity is negative it is known that the bunch is transversely unstable due to a mechanism socalled head-tail instability. At xc ¼ 0 the collective motion of the particles inside a bunch can benefit only little from residual Landau damping due to an equivalent residual chromaticity, xc0 ; which is defined as: xc0 ¼ ð1=2pbn ÞZL; where Z is the momentum compaction factor, L is the machine circumference, and the averaged value R L of beta function bn is defined as 1=bn ¼ ð1=LÞ 0 ds=bðsÞ: The reader should not confuse the notation xc0 with natural chromaticity, since its real physical cause is Z: By a rough estimate, one finds that *Corresponding author.

xc0 EnZ; where n is the tune shift of the machine. In fact, all the existing electron storage rings have their chromaticities compensated above zero (even if very near zero sometimes). When xc > 0; the bunch will be not only free from the head-tail instability, but also its transverse collective motion can be guaranteed by sufficient Landau damping. The instability will occur only when Landau damping effect is destroyed at a specific bunch current threshold, Ith : The behavior is explained in detail in Ref. [1] (where xc0;y has been neglected) and demonstrated clearly by the experimental results of ESRF [4–8]. Experiments indicate a strong nonlinear dependence of Ith with respect to xc : This letter aims to explain this nonlinear dependence and the corresponding scaling law by applying the theory developed in Ref. [1]. For a given vertical chromaticity xc;y (we will limit to our discussion in the vertical plane where the instability starts first due to stronger

The first regime corresponds very small values of xc;y : In this case Ith is located in the potential well distortion dominated bunch lengthening region, and one has Re E1: The second regime applies to large xc;y : Ith is located in the microwave instability dominated bunch lengthening region with Re ERz [9].

n 2:3 and Ith pxc;y corresponding to the two regimes, respectively. A series of machine studies have been conducted recently at ESRF (Grenoble, France) on the relation between the single bunch transverse instability and the chromaticity of the machine [4–8]. It is clearly shown experimentally in Fig. 1 that Ith depends nonlinearly on the chromaticity. Keeping the aim of comparing only the functional dependence between Ith and xnc;y in mind, we have fitted the experimental results by a two parameter function y ¼ axb ; where ny ¼ 11:39; ZEa ¼ 1:86 104 [13], and xc0;y Eny Z ¼ 2:1 103 : As indicated by the experimental results, we have fitted the first three experimental results corresponding to low xnc;y (solid line) and fitted the other experimental results corresponding to high xnc;y (dashed line) as shown in Fig. 2. The fitting results give a ¼ 15:98 (mA) and b ¼ 1:38 for solid line and a ¼ 37:17 (mA) and b ¼ 2:39 for dashed line, with b values very close to theoretical predictions. This letter shows that the transverse instability threshold current of a single bunch scales with 2:3 n xnc 1:3 and xnc 2:3 (x1:3 c and xc ; when xc is very small) at potential well distortion dominated and microwave instability dominated bunch lengthening regimes, respectively, which is confirmed by the experimental results obtained at ESRF.

From SPEAR scaling [10], one knows that the longitudinal loss factor of a storage ring scales with bunch length as s1:21 : As for the correspondz ing scaling law for the transverse loss factor, one can resort to the Panofsky–Wenzel theorem [11]. Using the SPEAR impedance-frequency dependence function and applying the Panofksy–Wenzel theorem, one can prove that Y ¼ 0:7: The machine study of Super-ACO [12] shows numerically that Y ¼ 0:7: Taking Y ¼ 0:7 as a universal scaling law for transverse loss factor (equivalent to SPEAR scaling) which applies to many different machines, we conclude from Eqs. (2) and (3) that Ith pxnc;y1:3
