QUANTIFYING DISSIPATED POWER FROM WAKE FIELD LOSSES IN DIAGNOSTICS STRUCTURES

As a charged particle beam passes through structures, wake fields can deposit a fraction of the energy carried by the beam, as characterised by the wake loss factor. Some part of the deposited energy will be emitted into the beam pipe, some part can be coupled out of signal ports and some part will be absorbed by the materials of the structures. With increasingly higher stored currents, we require a better understanding of where all the energy deposited by wake losses ends up in order to avoid damaging components. This is of particular concern for diagnostics structures as they are often designed to couple a small fraction of energy from the beam, which makes them susceptible to thermal damage due to increased localised losses. We will detail the simulation and analysis approach which we have developed to quantify power deposition within structures. As an example the analysis of a beam position monitor pickup block of the Diamond storage ring is shown.
