Transverse single bunch instability study on BEPC

In recent years, a lot of experiments were done on ESRF and ELETTRA to study the single bunch transverse instability. To prevent such instabilities on BEPCII in the future, experiments were made on the single bunch transverse instability threshold current versus the chromaticity on BEPC. By analyzing the experimental data based on the theory developed in [J. Gao, Nucl. Instr. and Meth. A 416 (1998) 186 (see also PAC97, Vancouver, Canada, 1997, p. 1605).], the transverse loss factor of BEPC and the corresponding scaling law are obtained.
