HOM DAMPER DESIGN FOR BNL EIC 197MHZ CRAB CAVITY
For the electron Storage Ring (ESR) of Brookhaven Na-tional Lab Electron Ion Collider (BNL EIC), beam loading is a great concern due to the high beam current together with abortion gap, especially for harmonic cavities due to higher operational frequency. There were attempts to use feedback/feedforward control, using multiple cavities with counter-phasing [1]. A straightforward way to lower beam loading effect is to design a cavity with low R/Q. In this paper, we show such a design for the 3rd harmonic cavity for BNL EIC ESR.
